I Have Not Disappeared

Rain from my window

Here I am, I just wanted to let you know that I have not disappeared. The month of May has been a busy month full of appointments, that have kept me away from my computer. The next week a friend will come to visit us and he stays for several days. My presence here will scarce until the end of the month, but in June I will be here again as usual. Today is a gloomy day, it pours and the sky is dark and menacing, this reminds me one of my favorite weather quote: "Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get" by Mark Twain How is your day? No matter if it's sunny or gloomy, bring your own sunshine.

I have never seen such a horrible month of May. We all have a real life and we cannot be here all the time.

@cacay1 The one you see in the photo is not our house, it's the neighbor's house. Our house has bigger windows.

@LadyDuck , You have a very big house with small windows. That is also how it looks in New Zealand small and some no windows at all to avoid severe coldness of climate during winter and spring.

I decided to spend the day inside, since it is super gloomy, and has been all day. I watched an old movie with Liam Neeson and Harrison Ford. It was very long and very well done. It was called The Widow Maker, and about an incident with a soviet nuclear submarine years ago. But the sun seems to be trying to come out now (it's about 4:15 pm now), so maybe I'll go outside some.

@LadyDuck I was off of the hill where I live for half of today. It was sunny down there, but not up here. We're too close to the water for the sun to burn off the clouds.

That was uncanny; I was just thinking I hadn't seen you for a bit! Sorry the weather is gloomy. If it's any consolation, it's quite miserable here too. It can't decide if it wants to be spring or summer. *sigh*
