Too lazy to read today? Listen to it here.

Last year around this time it was raining. This year it’s the same. And probably for the summers to come rain will be a reappearing guest act in my summer, supposedly I stay in Scotland. There has been a huge discourse in the past years, why we need to change how we talk about weather, especially rain. It is not our enemy that destroys what would have been a perfect holiday. It’s our partner and it has it’s purpose. No rain no flowers. Mundane but true. The band Travis, no wonder, by the way is from Glasgow, Scotland. I didn’t actually know that although where else would they be from?

Last year around this time I was watching Murder, she wrote a lot. This year it’s the same. I don’t know why I love it so much, half the time I am not even paying attention to what’s happening, who murdered who and I’ve given up completely trying to find out who the murderer is before amateur sleuth Jessica Fletcher does, but I love watching it. When the first tunes of the piano hug me like a hot chocolate and Jessica in her marvellous colourful outfits and impeccable spirit appears on the screen I just can’t wait to get old, live in an old wooden house by the seaside and be smarter than everyone else.
