I was walking home from uni yesterday when I saw some papers scattered on the path, ruined by the rain from the night before, and among them was this envelope, torn open. I picked it up as much because I'd love to know how it got there, as because it was a nice design.

I just went for a short run, which was nice - I haven't for ages. Now I am going to sit down and write some letters, I think. It is all nice outside - still nice and cool morning and evening, but warm in the middle of the day (a bit too warm, if you ask me - but never mind). The rain has brought on greenery everywhere, sprouting from the edges ( Read more... )

It's still raining beautifully; this morning was especially cold and windy, dark and rainy; delightfully film noir. ("Delightfully" is hardly the word, considering puddles of drowned worms and the truck that thundered past through a puddle, spraying my legs with water. Euphoria is about the closest I think I can get to it?) Unfortunately, where ( Read more... )

I forgot to post about donating my labour for the pure joy of nerdery working in the laboratory! It was slightly surreal. I got to wear a lab coat :) as promised, which was of course too big for me, but not comically. I also did not explode anything, nor cause any other major havoc. Most of the morning was spent getting a little used to where ( Read more... )

It's cold here, in my toes and hands. It's turning into autumn in quick bursts - you notice it hanging the washing out, a damp cool breeze; it's in the draught under the door; it's around the edges of your sleeves. This makes me happy; I stayed at J's last night and the valley filled up with fog and misty rain, everything very green but subdued ( Read more... )

So my house is being attacked by a storm (leaves flying everywhere and such) and I am listening to Mona Lisa Overdrive, and man it is awesome.

Our house is kind of vulnerable, because it is about half a storey higher than all the houses to the west, and that is where most of the storms come from... nice view though :)

It's raining, but it isn't really cold. I have raved about rain before, I think, so I won't again, but the sound of cars on wet road makes me happy. And the jacaranda trees are all in flower, and glow beautifully among all the rest of the greenery...I don't know why they seem to do that when it's wet ( Read more... )

( It's Raining Rather A Lot )

Friday was very nice; it involved the eating of curry, looking at drawings, and very little work at all.

Yesterday it rained rather pleasantly. Then I developed a migraine. Then I watched Love Actually.

Today the migraine is slowly receding thank god, and I am making Orange Bread and Butter Pudding.

...Pudding!!

Rainy weather making me happy. It would have been an irritating morning trying to buy difficult presents for people, but the random bursts of rain made it all better somehow. Also the guy in JJ's who was nice to me, the girl in Pushkar who was nice to me, even though I was sniggering at Autumn to Ashes t-shirts (seriously, ALL of their band shirts ( Read more... )
