Rain
It's amazing.
One day temperatures are so high I can't concentrate. Now, when there is finally rain after a heat wave which took the better part of a week, I find myself closing the window, because I'm getting too wet otherwise, and might catch a cold. And I'm still sweating all over from the extremely high temperatures which I had to endure during the past few days, along with other people living in this country. First thing I'm going to do when I arrive home: take a shower. Which is crazy, considering how the rain could really have helped me out, there. Oh well.
On a side note, if you're wondering whether good weather
is
the reason why I wasn't very active online since last saturday, then the
answer is no.
Due to there being sun all week, we've had an opportunity to do some
work on our veranda. And some other similar things. So that was, in
part, also a reason why I wasn't available. On top of that, I don't
consider much sunlight
to be the same thing as good
weather
. This has two reasons: First, I have Vitiligo (as I
mentioned before on
this blog), and allowing too much direct sunlight on my skin will only
augment those white spots. Second, 33°C is horribly high in a country
where 25°C is the average, and I prefer not to suffer from high
temperatures.
Which cannot be said about some other people, apparently. Oh well.
I really hate it when I ear everyone talking about "good weather" referring to temperatures of more than 25 degress! I live in Portugal, and in the last few years temperatures rise to as up as 37 degress...it's completly unsupportable! When I get on the car (already swetting all over) and the radio says its gonna be a fine day, with a fantastic weather...I almost cry, as I know that means it's gonna be completly sunny, and temperatures well above the acceptable (+-23º)! argh!!
