Rain, rain go away... or stay if you like

每週主題: Something you would do on a rainy day...

Mr_Mike

I’m a fan of rainy days as long as I don’t have to leave my house. Sitting inside while it’s pouring outside can be relaxing. You can open the window and listen to the steady beat of rain drumming on the concrete outside. The pitter-patter sound is conducive to meditation or alternatively you can stare out the window from the comfort of your living room and sip on a hot cup of tea or coffee. It’s also a good excuse to catch up on some reading or binge-watch something online. 


If I have to go to work or do something outside, rain can be a real hassle. It’s always important to check the forecast before you go out because you don’t want to get caught in a downpour without an umbrella or rain jacket. I don’t like taking an umbrella on the train because there’s nowhere to put it and it’s very likely that I’m going to leave it behind by accident. Perhaps the worst thing about being outdoors on rainy days is getting waterlogged shoes and wet socks.  


There is one situation where I wouldn’t mind being outside when it’s raining and that’s if I was in an outdoor hot spring bath. There’s something cool and atmospheric about being in the water while there is water falling from the sky. I can’t remember the last time I had that experience. In other words, it’s not an opportunity that comes around every day. So for now, it looks like I’ll have to be content with an indoor meditation session or just a cup of coffee by the window.  

What do you like to do on rainy days?
