Well, it could've been worse.

Yesterday's weather was what some would call, 'The worst weather we've had all summer.' It rained. And it rained, and it rained. All afternoon in fact. Coming from the UK, this was hardly a revelation for me, but for Toronto it's apparently very out of character. Whenever there has been rain before, the clouds have bestowed several hours worth of water in mere minutes. The result: everyone ducks for cover, waits ten minutes or so for the rain to stop, and then carries on with their day like nothing happened. On top of this, at least recently, there's been a thunderstorm at least once a week. Why then, is an entire afternoon of light rain so concerning? I spent yesterday being   forcefully  reminded of home - where it rains more often than it shines. One of the things that I've found most jarring about moving to Canada has been the rain. Even though we get fairly regular showers, they don't feel very satisfying. It's like the rain's been put off
