Rain and sick

It's raining again. This is 14 days of rain in a row. Now I'm also sick with a sore throat, aches and pains, headache, and stuffed up nose.

I can safely say there is not a lot of enjoyment going on here.

Morning greeting from local

On my way to class on Wednesday morning, I passed a woman walking her 2 dogs through campus. She was wearing a quilted jacket and I approached wearing my everyday uniform, a fleece jacket, while crossing my arms and clutching myself.

She says, "It's like a winter day, isn't it?"

Enough said.

Rain holiday

It is raining. It has been raining since I got here. We have not had one day without rain and most days are all day rain or at the very least, all day clouds with rain. --------

There are holiday cottages all over Cornwall.

Weather Woman/Man

On TV at night, the weather person gets on and shows a large map of the UK. It has no city names and is covered in clouds and arrows showing wind direction. The cloud cover covers up almost all the outline of the country so you have no idea where you are or what is really happening. They also do not show any other map – just a large unmarked map with cloud cover and arrows. There is no other information to support their weather report so you learn absolutely nothing from the report.

But – what is there to really know? That it is going to rain again? Or continue to rain?
