What is one of your best rainy day memories?

My Cousin Sarah and I got to stay at our Great Grandma's house together, and it was raining, and she told us we didn't have to be cooped up, we could go play in the rain. This was very exciting, because it's not something our parents would have gone for. So we twirled around and leapt in puddles and licked raindrops off rose petals. When we were done our Gran put us in a hot bath, and made us hot tea and treats. She brought out a big bag of costume jewelry and let us go through it, we tried everything on, and thought we were very fancy, and she let us keep our favorite ones.

I'm British but one comes to mind

2012, the weekend of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, there was a flotilla of boats parading down the Thames river in London, including the Queen, on a gold boat waving to the plebs and bootlickers waving little plastic flags. It fucking pissed down all weekend, torrential rain. Literally pissed on the parade. Magic

We went camping in the woods with kids (7 and 5). As miserable as it was we had fun. Rain on a tent is a wonderful sound. Plus, wet plebs

Just in case anyone was thinking of calling me unpatriotic, for the avoidance of doubt, I love my country and our (for now) union nations

Unfortunately the UK is a shit hole full of (mostly English) seemingly stupid, bigoted cunts, with a monarchy who are parasitic vermin (with racist and padeo accusations hanging) propped up by a corrupt, venal class and political system

I do like beans on toast though, so swings and roundabouts
