rain

I hope this rain doesn't stop anytime soon. The madness is so fun. Squealing schoolgirls, boys walking to busstops with umbrellas and people hurrying around. Tee hee hee. That day a blur looking boy with a red schoolbag came on the bus with a green umbrella with mustard polkadots. And today a boy was so anxious to run onto the bus when it stopped, past the inevitable curtain of rain, he ran on the spot twice before jumping onto the bus like a mad rodent. And flooded busstops and crying trees. Oh but the most magnificent part is seeing cars with their headlights on, whooshing on roads, with huge magnificent fans of water like big fins on their sides, so they look like great sharks cutting through the water, and when the rain is very heavy the world looks like an underwater world. And it is ever so cosy. Even though it is cold you feel warm and protected inside. However if I had a toddler daughter now I would be very worried that she will drown in the floods that might be shin-high or knee-high for us. Wet Wet Wet.
