It's a strange quirk of human nature that you don't appreciate something until it's in short supply, look at diamonds, for example, if they were as common as glass no one would pay vast sums for relatively small stones. I was reminded of this rather banal thought this morning, when, after a misty start, it came on to rain in earnest and has been tipping down ever since. Kim and I have been looking at the downpour with great approval, as it's the first rain for several weeks and the countryside and garden are absolutely parched . Normally, we would have been disapproving, even feeling hard-done-by if it rained all morning in high summer. Now we approve heartily of this good watering. Mind you, if it carries on more than a few hours we may well revert to our former dislike of rainy weather...
Bye for now, going to check where I've put my raincoat!
