The sun – I’ve heard of it.

Here in Stockport we hardly ever see the sun. Clouds nestle on the Pennines and seep into the sky all around like a bad smell in a lift.
We’re almost at the end of May and there’s no sign of sunshine. I never thought I’d miss a drought, but I do: at least droughts are cheerful.

I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.

We have no drought here. It rains at least once a week. But, the sun is out most days. Naturally! It’s Hawaii!!!

Yeah it seems like our town has won the early November for a year contest as well. Two days of nice weather in a row would be appreciated yet also be very surprising.

It’s sad, isn’t it? Speaking of which, we’ll all be coming down with it (SAD) if the sun doesn’t get its act together soon.

St. Louis has had about two days of sun in the last three weeks. The thunderstorms aren’t so bad, but I’m really getting tired of the flooding and constant tornado warnings.

Welcome to your first 6WS – it’s addictive. As far as sun, it’s been sadly lacking in my neck of the woods which is very unusual. There’s something about sunny days which make everything seem brighter and happier.
Hope you see some sun soon 🙂
