You know that song..."Love Is All Around" by Wet, Wet, Wet... well, this posting has nothing to do with Love but has everything to do with "wet,wet,wet being all around". If I had the talent, I would try to remake the song to fit my new heading!
For the past two days, OIC has been a victim of light sprays of water tickles called rain! When you look at it through the window, you dont realise how heavy it is until you step out! I dont know where the rain came from, but it has robbed us of the sun!!
I think that if I were asked to describe the weather in Okinawa during this time of the year, I would say UNPREDICTABLE! I can't explain how a place can experience all four seasons on one day! I am not kidding.
In the morning, it shines like there is no tomorrow,but before you know it, grey is all around and the temperatures are down.You blink your eyes for 2 seconds, and the flowers that had bloomed are gone! While you are still getting used to it and breathing air to warm up your palms, the sun is smiling back at you again! It is abit crazy for me, a girl who comes from a country where it is either a wet or dry season . No in betweens:)
Still on the weather. I guess its unpredictability is an advantage. The metereologists here are always spot on! They have actually redeemed my confidence in Metereologists. I always thought that it was a profession for weather pattern guessers. I guess for those of us who are in Uganda or have lived in Uganda , you know what I am talking about.
You turn on your TV and there is a man/ woman standing with a bad suit, bored facial expression and annoying voice. He/ she reads the weather "forecast" of THAT day( why call it a forecast and not a backcast?).
As if that is not bad enough, he/she then gives you the next day's forecast. I always wonder what "next day" means to them. At the rate they have errored, it must mean " a few months from now" !
But for the Okinawa forecasters, when its 4 seasons the next day, they are all mentioned and actually come true! So there is no danger of carrying a heavy coat or wearing a very warm top only for you to sweat all deodrant off!
Nice weekend.
