The nature of rain
I lurve it when it rains. After it has ended it leaves this wonderful smell in the air which clothes the buildings and roads and trees and grass and flowers it had touched not too long ago. Something like a cool and unmistakeable aftershave.I smell it now in my apartment and it sends me into this tizzy where I just want to get into bed, shuffle under the sheets with my bolster and huddle to dewy dreamland. The clouds hang low and grey and the moisture hugs the city snugly. When hot tom yum soup and a few hot savoury buns taste so good.
When rain and food become the tightest memories of home.
