Lovin it ! Jan 22, 2011
Is it just me or there are others who are also enjoying the weather too. Almost a complete week of full cloud cover with a couple of days nice drizzle throughout. Something not that common in these parts. Been on a couple of nice relaxed walks already during the week.

The windows open with the nice cool breeze comming in and my little thermo tells me its 20 C without any A/C. The birds are out singing, well chirping on top of their lungs. Maybe they are just excited they just got fed. Got a nice big patch of green lawn with trees with a lot of little birdies in them and I feed them as often as I can.

Just hoping it lasts as long as it can.

Although my mate visiting from Canada isn't too happy about it, as this is the kind of thing they come here to get away from ! :D But still not too disapointed, rather +20 than minus

You know someone has grown up in the middle East when they actually feel an uplift from cool and cloudy weather.

Others associate it with gloominess while I somehow feel very cheerful when its cloudy and better yet, drizzling.

Exactly, BBR. The more gloomier and rainy the better also feel a little sad when the rain stops and the clouds slowly drift away.

Why don't you post the view from your window? I'd be interested.

I feel like singing Mary Poppins songs.

Feed the birds tuppence a bag, tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag.

At the cuurrent rate of exchange, replace tuppence with 8 fils a bag.

Almost the same as the sevice charge in Sharjah I would say, so dont feed the birds is the lesson.

BM, good idea, pics from the house window.
