Nattigheid


-Het regent dat het giet
-Het regent pijpenstelen
-Het regent alsof het met emmers uit de hemel wordt gegooid
-De hemelsluizen staan open
-Het regent ouwe wijven
-Het regent kopjes en schoteltjes
-Het regent bakstenen

Al een dag of 9. Het is niet meer leuk. Ik kan de kinderen niet veel langer uit het zwembad houden. En toch, nu het buiten amper 18 graden is en de temperatuur van het water gezakt naar 22, door alle regen, zouden ze er nog inspringen...

Nochtans is iedereen hier blij met de regen. Het was nodig. De reservebekkens zijn weer wat voller en de planten kunnen weer groeien. Maar 9 dagen achter elkaar is gewoon teveel voor Korneel. Dat komt teveel in de buurt van een Belgische herfstdepressie. En daarvoor ben ik niet hier!

3 opmerkingen:

  1. Tja je hebt het niet voor het zeggen wat het voor weer dagelijks wordt, soms met regen dat moet je dan maar met een korreltje zout nemen!!!Ookal zou je dan het liefst willen hebben dat het mooier weer zou zijn.Hoop op zegen.
