Rain drops keep falling on my head...
It seems that it has been raining forever...so I am going to write about it and hopefully that will make it stop. What is rain? It is water drops falling to the surface of the earth. But more importantly it is the thing that prevents you from enjoying your evening drinks and other pleasant outside activities, it is a major factor in getting a cold by getting your socks wet and it is something that can really mess with your emotions. If you don't beliveve me just remember all the songs that were written about it...
If you think that a two day non stop natural watering of our beloved land is something special, think again. Yesterday I saw a discovery TV show about a town in Norway, where it has rained forom januray to end of march NON STOP. ( will add a source when I find it) And if you think that it is raining very intensivly because you got all wet by walking a very short distance outside, you are wrong again. In the last 24 hours Krvavec ( slovenian record holder for last few days) got 14, 4 centimeters of water whereas Mumbai got 94.4 centimeters in 24 hours last summer. Yes one meter of water!
So to brain storm a bit after reading a lot of brain killing material, here are some reasons why all this rain is actually good:
1. There is a reduced probability of a draught in the hot summer so we are all going to have enough water to wash our cars and water our lettuce in the july heat.
2. All the dust and dirt is going to be washed away, which will benefit people with alergies, and not to mention those who are bothered by the sand still left on the pavements from the winter.
3. Couples will enjoy romantic walk uner one umbrella.
4. Civil protection will get a chance to test if they are prepared for emergencies.
5. Threatening awalanches will stop being threatening.
6. All the plants will have enough water to show off their calming green colour.
7. Some of the over motivated recreationalists will get a rest thier body screaming for after over intensive training.
