Hello a1intnet. I wish it would rain here in my country because its very hot here. Whenever it rains, I have different moods when it rains. There are times when it pours I just want to snuggle in my blanket and sleep the whole time until it stops raining. But, when it just drizzles I get up and do some chores.

I am from Maurtius - it's very hot here too. The only problem is that when it rains it just never seems to stop :-)

I can agree with you - sometimes the rain here is great as it breaks the heat for a while. The only problem is that when the rain stops the humidity is way up again :-)

Well, I have not had my own transport for now so the rain is really not welcomed for me on the working days. If at weekends, it does not matter much if it rains. You are lucky to have your own transport and it is easy for you to go anywhere you want, no matter whether it rains or not.

Hmmmm - yes I am lucky to have my own transport but the rain still makes it difficult to get anywhere sometimes. Just the other day the rains were so bad that pieces of the road were washed away. The traffic was jammed and there were accidents everywhere. I think that on days like that i might have preffered taking the bus :-)

Rain is very romantic item of the changing climate. First rain smells very nice. The smell of wet clay. But as the rain increases this becomes boring. And we pray for the end of rain. Some time rain comes late. Some time we wait for the rain and when rain comes and it does not go and we start to say go rain go. Rain is gift of nature, gift of skies and gift of God. But some time it converts in to an examination or test of our will power. At that moment we feel that rain is like a punishment of nature. It converts into flood. It causes to ruin the unstable huts of poor people. Rain has charm. Rain has poetry in it. Rain has special scenery but rain has also tough time when it increases in some cases.

After being in the rain for a solid 2 weeks I have to agree with you sheen! I am beginning to feel closed in and I'm dying for the sun to shine so that I can do something outdoors. Thank you for your response :-)

I have a quiet attitude. It just gives me an excuse to stay indoors and relax. Also it gets you by on so many things. Like when you are late for work, an appointment...

Seeing as we have such a bad water shortage here in Melbourne it is wonderful to see the rain, once upon a time most people would complain about it but now we welcome it, it is nice staying in bed when it is wet and cold, it is relax time....can't wait til we have these days again...

Rain makes me tired and achy as I have scars and post surgery injuries that hurt whenever it rains. I'm not a rain girl.

Sorry to hear that cripfemme! Do you rub natural oils into your scars? Or take a nice hot bath filled with great smelly stuff on rainy days? Hope you don;t have too much rain and your injuries feel better :-)

Rain kind of makes me sleepy I guess. When it's raining really hard, I just want to curl up and take a nap and stay in bed. That or I just want to do a lot of relaxing and nothing more. I like reading books and what not more when it's raining.

Today I can totally agree with you. It is still raining and today there is NO sunshine peeking through. It's grey and cloudy and pouring down with a bit of thunder and lighning. I had all these plans as it is Saturday - I was going to get my hair done and stock up on groceries, all the things I never had time to get to during the week. But all I want to do is get back into bed - Yawn!!!

For people who have to go to work everyday, rainy days are definitely bad days. I used to feel this way during the years that I was employed. It was such a hassle to be opening and closing the umbrella while transferring from one public vehicle to another. The roads were all wet and slippery. But now that I don't have to go out all the time, rainy days are just fine with me. I do feel really sleepy on rainy days. I can stay in bed if I feel like, at least after I've done my chores.

Lucky you Paulsy - I wish I was at home tday in this delicious rain. Unfortunately I am at work - but I am enjoying in nonetheless :-). Luckily I live in a hot country se even whe it rains it's not too cold. Also I have my own transport which definately makes life easier and the rain easier to enjoy. I would also not enjoy it if I was constantly in it while coming to work. Thank you for your reply :-)

The rain makes me feel really good when I am just at home. It gives me an opportunity to curl up on a new book.
