下雨天

there's something about the rain..

the gloominess, the sound of rain falling on the roof... most of all, it's the smell of rain..during and after.. the freshness of the air, the cooling feeling..

i remember being a kid and having nothing to do on rainy days.. couldn't watch tv coz apparently it was dangerous.. apart from reading or eating during rainy days sometimes i would just be slumped over the sofa watching the rain.. dad would sometimes open the door to let the breeze in.. those were good times..

i think this is the first time i'm hearing thunder in the UK.. i miss that sound during rainy days.. it's not as loud as it is back home but i guess it's better than the usual thunderless rain..

maybe i miss home more than i think i do..
