Five For A Rainy Friday
It's a little wet this side of the pond; I'm considering a few rainy day activities....
...because rumour has it the Rain Gods may be super busy this weekend.
My favourite rainy day activities:
1. Swimming....in the rain, yes indeed. There's nothing like that first cold splash underwater to shake the cobwebs from the grey cells!
2. Watching the weather, literally running down the panes whilst snug inside...
3. Flipping pancakes, baking fairy cakes...in other words, making a great big mess in the kitchen. No rules, you can stay in your PJs, nightie, kimono, dressing gown, whatever you fancy all morning. Just don't answer the door, and keep the curtains closed.
4. Turn up the music! There's something wonderful about playing classical music very LOUDLY on a rainy day! Just remember, to glide gracefully along those wooden floorboards requires socks! Refer #3 for dress code.
A/N:
Hello everyone! Hope you're having a fabulous Friday where ever you may be. I've been seconded into playing tour guide tomorrow - should be interesting. There will be walking, trains, markets and lunch...somewhere in London, and if I'm lucky I'll sneak in an art gallery or two. What are your plans this weekend?

5. Light the fire, grab a blanket, book and your trusty lap-net-Ipad-book and curl up. *contented sigh*
Don't you just love the rain?

I really do like walking in the rain!
Well, there is always paper.
Melissa, nothing like dancing in the rain! And yup, definitely keep warm afterwards!
Pat, why do people run when it rains? ;)
Stina, ;) tropical rain is good!
Danette, I wish but we are far from the beach and sunshine could be a while.
Meredith - hope you have a nice relaxing one! ;)
Lisa, - pancakes are like comfort food here! Love them. ;)
Rosario - welcome ;)
Cinette - I hope you got to curl up at some stage over the weekend!
Melissa G, - depending on the location, yes I do swim outside in the rain if opportunity arises. And then I have pancakes afterwards. ;)
Hi Elle, welcome and lovely to meet you. ;) I took a ferry ride yesterday on The Thames, quite pleasant even with grey skies and a sprinkling of showers. Thanks for the follow!
Golden Eagle - me too! ;)
Carol, definitely do both of those!
Amos, hello. Thunderstorms are a whole other level! ;) Wonderful to watch from a distance, and best enjoyed under shelter out in the countryside. Playing the piano during a storm is great too. ;)
Elissa, I hope you and your family are ok in OZ. Queensland looks shocking right now, incredible scenes on the news. Stay in PJS sounds like a good plan! ;)
I have loved every minute of it.
