Rain :( It's about time I learned to dance in the rain innit instead of waiting for the sun to appear.

I tend to stay in on rainy days and always find plenty of things to do. In fact, I have to force me myself and I to go out sometimes.:roll:

I've noticed that most of my friends get restless when they've been indoors for more than a few hours, especially when the sun is shining.

Going for a long walk when the sun is shining is motivating; apart from exercise, you get a healthy tan to boot.... that healthy glow that is so admired. :yes: Not so when it's raining. Oh I know that there is nothing wrong with the weather and that it is the wrong clothes that are at fault.. and wrong attitude too.

Having said that - there IS so much outside just waiting to be explored. G. and I were talking about that yesterday during the train ride out to Elk Island. Countryside begins literally minutes from Slussen and the where the train starts, yet we seldom think of venturing out to explore these places unless there is a direct need like visiting a friend who lives out there. We tend to stick to our own familiar neck of the woods.

I invested in a travel card, May - August, which means I can travel as much as I like on public transport here in Stockholm - a 40 km radius, which is not bad at all. I don't use it enough.

So what's stopping me ? One thing, I am embrassed to admit, is not having access to a loo when I need one. I dislike public loos and I do tend to need a convenience every 4 hours or so.

Apart from anything else , I am so grateful for my friends and being able to have these little adventures. It leaves me with a warm and fuzzy glow in my heart and soul. :yes:
