It's raining!
And that makes me oddly happy.
We have had a gorgeous summer, day after day of hot sunshine.
The only trouble is *whispers guiltily* I'm not that fond of sun. Or heat. Or the outdoors.
There. I said it. I know it is a small venial sin in this country not to love the sunshine. I know that many people (including me, actually!) suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, and crave the sunshine. So to say that one is not terribly fond of it, especially when one lives only a few kilometres from the beach (a beach that is in the top 10 in the WORLD for 'showing off a tan') is tantamount to disavowing oneself as a member of the human race.
Now, I know there is some suspicions in my family that I actually am a vampire (although I REFUSE to sparkle - glower), but I have no liking/need for blood. I am simply mildly photophobic - I get headaches in bright lights and prefer to stay indoors when it is hot and sunny. I wilt like a tomato plant needing water when the temperature starts to rise, and basically consider myself to be a temperate zone human. No extremes. Not too hot, not too cold - I'll be happy.
So the rain today and the grey skies? I'm okay with that. I can deal with it.
Besides, I had the car, so I didn't even have to walk in it!
