rainy days
It has been raining, for the most part, for three solid weeks. Every weekend, for as long as I can remember, has been shrouded in grey clouds and foul weather. The Dragon Boat Festival three day holiday saw me house-bound. While walking in the rain is considered romantic, it does get old. Fast. I had…
