There's heavy rain today, and the gentle rumble of distant thunder. Wonderful.
It sounds just like the tape we used to listen to in Saudi Arabia. People in Alaska have those lamps so they don't get S.A.D. and we used to listen to a cassette tape of the sound of rainstorms to remind us what moisture was. We'd turn off the lights in the living room and pull the curtains to make it dark like it was overcast outside, then open the door slightly as if the sound was coming from outside and switch on the tape and just listen.
The sound of rain still makes me happy.

Happy to the point that when you were a toddler on arriving at Hazelbury Crescent for another holiday you used to stamp up and down in the empty wardrobe to make your own "funner" (thunder)!
