It continues to amaze me how much of a difference waking up to bright morning skies makes to how I start my day.
The weather has cooled down recently (but then it is almost November!) although I'd still consider it to be 't-shirt weather' and better than most British summers. As any trip into Sliema or Qawra with tourists in shorts and strappy tops reminds me - the climate is consistently warmer than northern Europe.
The weather forecasts had been predicting rain for a while but none came until last Wednesday evening as I was leaving University, the heavens opened - It rained
...and rained
...and rained.
The road resembled a river and the few pedestrians out and about (including myself) were struggling to dodge getting soaked by passing cars. The place just isn't built for dealing with rain but then again there are only 6 weeks of 'winter'.
The rain didn't last longer than a couple of hours but as one of my friends explained: "We're Mediterranean, we don't do things by halves - including weather!".
