Welcome to Tuesday 4
We've had a lot of rain recently and it got me wondering about some things.
1. Do rainy days and/or Mondays really get you down? If so why?
Rainy days do not get me down. I actually like rain. It's only when it rains heavily for 10-14 days that I start to get annoyed. Thankfully that doesn't happen very often.
On the other hand, Mondays happen every week and I've never liked Monday's. It's a hold over tension I feel from my school days and my work days. Often I'd have homework from school or work related paper work which I'd bring home but never got around to working on until the last minute if at all. It caused me stress. I still get a bit of stress when Monday rolls around even though I no longer have home work. Monday means back to the business week when offices, 'business related' organizations and public institutions are open again. Either they're calling me or I'm calling them and the telephone tag begins. These days I find they don't just call once and leave a message for you to get back to them. If you don't call right back they act as if you have really delayed in getting back to them. It's very annoying. Alternatively they don't even call. They want to email you or text you which is even worse.
2. Does thunder and lightning frighten you at all?
How about your dog or cat and what do you do to help them out?
Yes, actually thunder and lightning do frighten me, especially when the thunder is very loud and the lightning is significant. I was just telling my dear husband the other night, that the crack of thunder and the flashes of lightning can seem like they're going to split the earth and sky open. In fact, just the other night we had such significant thunder and lightning here that it made the news.
I no longer have a cat but when I did, she would hide during a storm. If she was not hiding I would sometimes hold her and try to calm her as she would shake from fright.
3. If you are at home on a dark, rainy day what do you do with your time? Some find it a good day to cuddle up with a cuppa and read or watch TV... what is your preference?
I like to sit with a good cup of tea and a snack and read or watch television. I guess reading would be my preference unless there is something really great on television which is rare these days.
4. Ever been caught in a downpour or has rain ever ruined your plans?
bonus question: Why do Mondays seem to be so unpopular with so many?
I've been caught in downpours in Canada and in East Africa. Rain never ruined my plans but may have delayed getting on with them. Here at home I always check the weather and make plans appropriate to the weather.
Mondays mean the end of the weekend which people use to catch up on other things, spend time with friends or relax in other ways. See my answer to #1 for a further explanation of why Monday's are unpopular.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week!

A woman after my own heart.. I like rain too! I'm not too afraid of lightning but, when it gets too close I worry.
I like rain but now lightening!
I didn't know you had so much lightning where you are, but then again, you do get a lot of rain, I think. Didn't you tell me once that your area is considered part of a rain forest or something like that? I remember being surprised by that. I really don't know much about the geography/climate of your area. I know what you mean about Mondays, and when I was working/in school I really didn't like to see Mondays come around, except that I did look forward to seeing my friends at school. Nowadays every day is pretty much the same, except for Sundays. I look forward to seeing my friends on Sunday and worshiping Jesus! I hope you have a blessed week.
We really need some rain over here. I think it is so cool that you have been to Kenya. I am so glad I am retired and I don't miss the Monday madness anymore.
Hi Penny. Oh how I wish we could have some rain. High temperatures and no rain and our garden is totally burnt!.
Generally rain does not worry me, but one time when the vehicle was struck by lightening in the Belgium Congo many years ago was very scary. Also 20 years ago here ,we had a massive hail storm at night, it broke many roof tiles and water rushed in all over the house. Electricity went off and I was on my own. N was in the UK. All I thought was keep taking photos for the insurance. Hail has done the same since in several places in France, so now I do shudder somwhat whe I hear hail!
I hope you are well, cheers Diane
