Rain all day and we went out for lunch with a dear friend lifting each others’ spirits and having a laugh. Here’s another word for rain from my beautiful book, Ninety-Nine Words for Rain by Manchan Magan.
And, an extract from a lovely poem for you, A Short Story of Falling by Alice Oswald. It seemed particularly appropriate for a day of ‘falling rain.’.
You might like to look it up to see the rest….I particularly like the last stanza here.

Very dry and cold ‘ down ‘ here in Johannesburg. Some rain would be very welcome about now.
“Rainy day, dream away
Ah let the sun take a holiday
Flowers bathe an’ ah see the children play
Lay back and groove on a rainy day. ”
