Weather Lies
- 1 minI’ve been in the UK now for roughly seven years. Unsurprisingly, I got used to the weather. To the untrained eye, or rather untrained skin, the British weather seems horrible. I quite like it. Ironically, coming from an island one would assume that I would despise the rain and the cold but I find them quite refreshing. There is however a trait of the British weather that I I dislike and that is its dishonesty.
The sun is up and shining, luring you into this wonderful world where umbrellas do not even occupy a single brain cell. Suddenly everything is upside down and rain is hitting you hard. You’re exposed and helpless. The weather is so dishonest that even the weather-lady is tricked into telling you that everything will be fine today. The app on your phone is propagating these lies further by only showing the sunny icons and declaring the day as ‘good’. Nothing though gives you comfort while the rain keeps pounding you mercilessly.
Only one thought remains. “Umbrella. Always”.
