actually rather liking the rain

felt ill all day yesterday and went to bed early with a ginger tea and "the phantom tollbooth".

and didn't it rain in the night?! i woke and could hear it pouring, woke later and the water was almost smashing down from the sky. You wouldn't believe it could just be falling, it was as if it was being thrown at us

i slept then, and slept again, and slept again and the rain reduced to a steady dripping and splashing and I slept and slept again so in the end i woke at eight after nearly nine hours sleep, to a world of grey and umbrellas in the street and feeling rested, stomach not hurting, neck not so painful and a clear and simple world to live in today.
