It's so obvious when you think about it. Rain actually makes things dirtier. Short people find out that it is raining later than tall people. Some people think that if you run in the rain you will get wetter. I Can't Stand The Rain' was originally sung by Ann Peebles.
Prolonged rain can cause cabin fever.
My bear also lives in Notting Hill and is the proud owner of an enormous collection of Pashminas . Although these ethnic shawls-cum scarves are very last year, I would be most interested to hear from any other readers whose bears are fond of the once fashionable pashmina. The window is one of the finest places to bring out the best in rain, coming only second to being in a waterproof tent with the lights out. And more rain of course. I don't care what anybody else says about the rain.
