Today it's rained all day long. It hasn't mattered as I needed to spend most of the day studying anyway. This morning I've been making sense of the formulae of ionic compounds and after lunch I worked on anions and cations revision. I decided I needed a break. Carlos wanted a bath and Amber was surgically attached to the television watching a Dungeons & Dragons DVD.
So I took Dogbreath for a walk. I'd been cooped up all day and needed the fresh air. It was raining but neither of us were particularly bothered, and we headed off towards the Council-owned farm that's not 10 minutes from my house.
It was overcast and really not that pretty but I got that wonderful uplifting feeling of being in the outdoors when it seems that all is right with the world.
There was no-one else around (unsurprising when you consider the weather) which was great because Dogbreath can be a bit grouchy with other dogs. It makes walks less stressful if it's just us.
I got home and rubbed Dogbreath dry with a towel. The smell of wet dog always reminds me of my (dead) grandparents succession of mongrels that we always seemed to take for walks in the pouring rain when I was a child. I'm now snuggled up in my warm house, with the sound of D&D cartoons drifting faintly up the stairs, with a steaming mug of tea and an afternoon of chemical bonding ahead of me. Ahh! Good times!
