To be despairing at the rain

It’s just so miserable. We never ever seem to just get a few days of rain, once it starts it goes on for weeks or even months at a time. We are on day 14 of rain with very little let up, high winds and this shit is forecast to go on for another 3 solid weeks if the Met Office is right.

I have small children and a dog and my life seems to be cleaning pram wheels, washing the dog’s feet, trying to wrangle my kids into/out of wet weather gear, and running between places trying not to get completely soaked. The mud is awful and gets everywhere. It’s making my house smell.

I just find it so depressing

My DW's carers from India are with you @ThisIsAGlobalPlayerOriginalPodcast .

Call this rain! You should see the monsoon.

We had a huge amount of rain in a short period of time a couple of months ago. I can't be the only one whose house leaks a bit since!

And we’re stuck with it as some bright sparks took away our right to move somewhere sunny should we want to!

I agree with the sentiment but a lot of European countries are getting bad weather at the minute, or at least dull weather!
