Dec. 19th, 2010 07:02 pmThe usual pre-Christmas rain is here! As I recall it didn't come last year because of strange weather patterns, but here it is in the week before Christmas as usual. I'm loving the wet and slightly cooler temperatures -- can actually sleep at night now, the sound of the rain always sends me to sleep well.
A couple of days ago, when the rain was arriving but somewhat lighter, I decided not to wear sunscreen because it would wash off and there was no sun anyway. I ended up red and burnt, even through the clouds...
It's actually been murky enough that I turned the Christmas tree lights on in the daytime. A bit of a silly idea, having a celebration of sparkly lights at summer solstice when it's not dark enough to enjoy them!
