Rainy Season, Over?

Rainy season is the worst time of the year in Japan. A month of rain with humidity ever-increasing just before the Summer season. It's terrible, and everyone is depressed by it.

On Thursday, the news announced that the season had officially begun and it suitably pelted down all day and all night.

However, Friday was beautiful and this weekend has been absolutely glorious with blue skies, and not a drop of rain in sight. Is this the shortest rainy season ever? People seem quite confused by it all. I think I'll jump on the global warming band-wagon.

Anyway, here are my favourite flowers; they're back.

And enjoying the sunshine. Me too.
