only happy when it rains

Have you seen the rain today? What was that storm all about?

Well, us Maltese are kind of used to it at this time of the year (or should be as it happens, like, every single year!) The social media channels went berserk with people sharing instagrams and status updates on the the weather conditions in this minuscule island. It felt like there was a competition where, in this 316 km² island, are the worst weather conditions.

I think I appeared to be maniacally grinning at all the rain pouring down. The thing is, I have come to love spring and/or autumn. Summer no longer holds the charm it used to.

I've mentioned before how I just can't wait to start wearing jackets, coats and all things wintry. Not only do the clothes themselves look much better than summer ones, they also make the wearer look more put together and complete.

From a personal perspective, I think the fact I experienced a relatively long winter and a mild summer abroad has made me grow out of love with the beach season. And, most of my wardrobe at the moment is made up of mid-season and winter clothing which I'm yearning to wear again or wear for the first time!

But tonight, I'm not going to write more. All I'm going to do is share with you some tumblr / pinterest / weheart it images which I feel express why I'm happiest when it rains more than my words can say. Call me weird, call me different, but I'd rather that than be normal and boring.
