#3 Rain

Today is a bank holiday so it is no surprise that I woke up to the sound of rain on the windows.  This is a sound that would fill most people with dread but for me it makes me incredibly happy.  It reminds me of when I was a child and whenever it rained I would rush into the conservatory and just sit on a chair listening to the thundering noise it created on the little glass room.  It stopped me from having to think and stopped me from feeling so lonely.  So now I see rain as a way of beating loneliness (even if I'm not actually lonely).  Not to mention that fantastic smell the world always has after a decent lashing of rain. 

Just so you know - it's not raining any longer, the sun has come out.  I'm not complaining but I really appreciate the rain more (especially when I am stuck inside).
