Raining again
Welcome to Sunny Spain they said320 days of sunshine a year they said
Meanwhile I had to put the light on in the kitchen to see to make coffee
and it is dark and dank and drizzling and dreary and dreich and
oh, dreich? a Scottish word. Definition - A combination of dull, overcast, drizzly, cold, misty and miserable weather. At least 4 of the above adjectives must apply before the weather is truly dreich. Yup, it's dreich.
Roll on next week when the sun comes back, and at least it will come back, in Scotland this would be it until about March.
Another sigh.
You can see this isn't an English website, there's no category for weather. Or an emoji for a nice cuppa tea.

Abagail - this IS home and yes I do like occasional changes so I remember to appreciate the status quo!
Having the rain is all that matters for now. I can always clean my roof top, but for sure I cannot create rain.
Nah, I've been here a year, and it was true of the year I've been here. In fact that's probably why it had to rain, some weather god suddenly realized they hadn't spent all the budget and tipped it down in a hurry
Stopped now, and the roadworks outside have almost finished, and life is good. How's spring treating you down Under?
So now I can drive up into the Sierra Nevada, say hello to the snow, turn round and drive home again. No digging or fuss or bother
"After All"
"Here In The Rhode Island Area ....In Southern New England"
"We Werent Under A Tornado Watch"...(Which Means A Possibilty)
"For The Last Hour Here?....."Weve Been Under A Tornado Warning"
(Which Means ...Almost ....A Gaurantee)
"I Could See The Dark Clouds Going In A Circular Pattern Way Up There"
"And Then It Got Real Dark......And The Winds Really Picked Up"
"But Thankfully...The Tornado Did Not Materialize"
"Otherwise?...I Wouldnt Be Able"
"To Be On The Blogs!!"
So... has your weather changed since typing this blog? Are things improving?
My parents were the type you will know too - people who moved to the southern hemisphere and have lived there well over half their lives and still refer to the UK as home
The decor in the current place is adding another layer of schizophrenia as I slowly start collecting Spanish stuff I fall in love with
Whereas I am not that way... I do have a small bell I bought back from Spain. Nothing special... touristy, simply to remind me of the trip . And a rather lovely trivet that I picked up in a market. A friend of mine brought back as much as she could carry ( Well as much as her partner's case would let her stash as well) and I recall how devastated she was when we got to our last night's in Madrid and she discovered a plate had broken.
I like that snail visual... slowly moving from place to place but taking their shell and then rather like a Terry Pratchett book... adding a layer.
