Ditto. This rain thingie is getting quite annoying.

0.3 inches - Is That All There Is???

Sunshine and rain, grey clouds and blue sky. If my dream about snow counts, definitely 4 seasons in one day today.

oh boy, it's a tempest out there ! the tree outside my kitchen window is thrashing about, all the windows were clattering and before i managed to shut the one in the kitchen the wind blew quite a few lighter boxes onto the floor. across the courtyard my neighbor's bamboo window shade is rippling and flapping like it's possessed by a demon. that thing is going to get massacred again. i don't know why she keeps buying them. although it's the middle of the afternoon it's dark as night in here. and it's raining, of course.

I love the sound of rain. Much better than the sound of SHUMS don't you think, or do your SHUMS like to play in the rain?

(We could use some rain, everything here is brown and it's hot and humid.)

WDE.

i'll take the sound of rain over the sound of shums any day, particularly since the shums have been in olympic form lately (and no, they apparently do not fear the rain. either that, or they've just got the windows open, which is just like going out in the courtyard, for acoustic purposes). the youngest ones are setting new records for land scream duration, the medium ones have a new game which involves going into the courtyard and bellowing "MEOW !!" over and over. (seriously. i think they're trying to bait my cat, who likes to sit on the window ledge, and sometimes meows if there are people about. but she's got nothing on the shums when it comes to decibel range). the oldest ones (who technically may have passed the age limit for shum status, but hey, as the old saying goes : if it shrieks like a shum and bellows like a shum, it's probably a shum...) are inventing apparently new and colourful strings of invectives in chinese which they are intent on broadcasting to the entire civilized world, which only encourages the youngest shums to scream all the more.

but having said that, given that it is technically JULY, it doesn't seem like it should be so much to ask to have at least one or two (or eleven or twelve...) days without the sound of *either* of them.

Train the cat to poo out the window.

We are getting a nice light show, thunder and rain shower, a rarity in these parts.

It's been too hot and dry the last 3 weeks so it is welcomed.

WDE.

The thermometer outside says 35°C, that's 95°F.

We are all huddled in the bedroom where we have the one air conditioner.

The dog doesn't even want to go for a walk and refuses to eat.

It's hot, and humid.

WDE.

My friend and I were supposed to go walking yesterday, but it was supposed to thunderstorm. We rescheduled for today, since it wasn't supposed to rain. Of course, yesterday afternoon it didn't rain at all and now it's supposed to thunderstorm this afternoon *sigh*

[yvanleterrible]

I don't plan anymore. Farkin holidays.

[Greg Anos]

Rainy and overcast here in DFW. I thank all the people who sent their excess rain to at least part of Texas. Now to make VR happy, could you send some more into south Texas.....

[vivaldirules]

Thanks for thinking of us, SSRSE. Unfortunately, we're expecting only a few drops - again. (doggie prays for big, nasty hurricane to bring lots of wetness)

[Verencat]

We're having yet another scary thunderstorm that make the skies turn blue... as always, right before I go to bed!
Guess I'll have to wait...
