My life is organised by various intermissions currently, mainly the weather. It is end of May, next week June, and you would think that the nice sunny t-shirt weather would now be here. Weather when you can go out without a raincoat, or pull your hood up to protect the head from a rain flattened hair style, but no way. We are currently living in the European monsoon season. Everyone talks about the earth warming up, but no-one talks about the earth submerging in constant rainfalls.

Being imobile I depend on my scooter to get to places. However its motor is allergic to wet weather and I have no protection from the continuous “raindrops keep falling on my head” syndrome, so I have no choice but to stay at home. Shopping is not a great problem, as I can order online, but there are certain groceries that I like to pick and choose myself in the store.

Although Mr. Swiss is only around the corner in his golden oldie home, I have not even been able to get out to see him. Everytime the sun breaks through I get ready, and when I am ready it rains again. I have only seen him once this week. OK, I can manage with that, and so can he, but I prefer to be free in my movements.

In the meanwhile I can look in my garden how the leaves have their raindrop patterns. This is really one intermission that is very irritating to say the least.
