There hasn’t been a torrential rainfall, in fact it hasn’t rained hard in weeks. But the weather has been cold and damp and yet again it’s drizzling this morning. May has felt as cold and wet as February usually does.
I set up the pool last weekend, and at this point I think it will be a solid month before it’s warm enough to get in. I wore a turtle neck to school on Friday, and I’ll be wearing layers again today. It’s cold.
Part of the price of living in the Vancouver Lower Mainland is that November and February suck… days of endless rain and low temperatures. But May is usually amazing. Sometimes we get to June and it cools down, but May is a month I usually always look forward to. Not this year.
In my 20’s I ran away from Toronto because I hated the winters. Now in my 50’s I’m wondering why I chose to live near a rainforest? I think being born on a tropical island and spending my first decade there spoiled me. I just want to see a bit of sunshine for more than a couple hours at a time… and I really hope I don’t have to wait until July to get it.
Guess I’ll just keep taking my vitamin D pills and bundling up. Summer will get here… eventually.
Just got a text saying a wind warning for here on the Sunshine Coast for tonight and tomorrow. Not that it hasn’t been windy for a very long time. Fooled today by the report yesterday that called for 80% chance of rain so did not go to the golf course this morning expecting the worst and yet aside from the wind it has been a great, rather warm, day. Oh well! I remember after I retired and was doing Principal on Call and when I got a call for a school I would always post to FB that it was going to be nice there the next day because I was going in for the day(s). Loved to make my own weather predictions.
Haha. Yes, my post was a bit of a whine, then the clouds opened up after work today and it was beautiful! Just need a few days like this in a row now… want to come do a Principal on Call job here for the rest of the week while I bask in sunshine? 😜
