Hey everyone!
The weather in London is pretty miserable
at the moment: it’s very windy and rainy, so umbrellas are popping up
everywhere. Massive puddles become a dangerous free shower possibility for
everyone who walks too close to the road (busses and cars, I’m looking at you).
And as always, everyone you see looks grumpy and done with the world.
I cannot say that I particularly enjoy this
weather either. In fact, I’ve probably been quite grumpy myself this afternoon
when I walked back from a lecture, hungry and annoyed by the weather. Yet, it
could be a lot worse. It’s not too cold, only about 12 degrees which means that
the wind is annoying, but doesn’t make you want to stay in bed all day with a
hot cup of tea. Also, by the fact that there ARE umbrellas everywhere you can
tell that the wind isn’t too dramatic
either.
Most people - me included - don't enjoy being out in the rain. However, that doesn’t mean that I accelerate
my bus or my car right before driving through a big puddle when there are
people walking close to the road. It also doesn’t mean that I hold on to my
umbrella and barge through a crowd of people without thinking about potentially
hitting them in the face.
That is exactly what happened to me today.
I had to hectically jump because I could hear a bus approaching with such speed
that I would have been soaked from head to toe, and I felt like I was
constantly trying to avoid being hit by someone’s rampaging umbrella.
That’s all I have to say. What a fascinating blog post on the weather…I know. :')
But I’m sure you can empathise. Yes, bad
weather is unpleasant, but it doesn’t make anyone’s mood better if people are extra
inconsiderate. xx
