It rained here today, and not just normal rain, full on stormy rain. Lots of people don’t like rain, especially when it’s been sunny for a while. But I guess I’m different, because I’ve always enjoyed the rain. Yes, sometimes it’s not the best getting caught out in it, but listening to it is incredibly relaxing to me, and sometimes getting caught in it can be one of the nicest experiences, as long as you look at it in the right way! Also, without rain, you can’t have one of the most beautiful natural phenomena, a rainbow.

One of my favourite memories of the rain is to do with walking home from school. That day when I left the school it was blazing sunshine, so I was in a good mood. When I was about half way home, suddenly it began to rain fairly heavily, and at almost the exact moment it started, a song began playing through my headphones. The Sun And The Rain by Madness, and I couldn’t avoid the perfection of the moment. So I walked the rest of the way home, smiling, as the rain came down.

So is rain really that bad? In my opinion, not in the slightest.

Keep looking for those silver linings, and once again, this is Conor, signing off
