Even if it doesn't last - I suspect that it won't - and even if the brief change gives me a migraine - I suspect that it is going to - there is a peculiar bliss is being woken at 5.10 in the morning from a fitful over-heated sleep by a cool breeze and the gentle hiss of rain. And by having to get up and bring washing in and fold it up, and then stand out there, in a dressing gown, just being cool for a few minutes, and getting wet.

As the world goes to pieces, we must learn to treasure such moments when we get them. They are one of the few things that unite humanity, I suppose; the simple animal joy of quiet rain and a brief end to baking heat.

Somehow, I suspect that George W. Bush doesn't get up in the early morning and feel cold rain on his face as he gets in his knickers from a drying rack, but that is his loss, not mine.

What a lovely, lovely post: a snippet of time from these moments that we sometimes don't remember to appreciate. Will try to take more time out for them, myself ....

And, on that note, sorry I couldn't talk earlier! Maybe Sunday? Will try to buy a phone card and call you. :)

The rain woke me too, so I got to stick my head out of the window and cool off a bit. But according to my (probably inaccurate) weather station it is now 26 degrees and 60% humidity, which means that today is going to be extremely sticky if it doesn't rain again. But the BBC forecast is rain and showers today then humidity dropping off the rest of the week so hopefully it won't be too awful.

But it was ruined for me by the image of George W in grubby pjamamas bringing in his long john's

And I did get the migraine, and it was worth it.

Oh, that was a wonderful post. And, a wonderful insight on George W. I suspect he rarely appreciates simple joys.
