It has been raining quite a bit lately. I don’t actually mind when it rains down here unless I had a specific plan to do something which cannot be done when it’s raining or I have a leak.

I think it is a nice change and it does remind me of living at home. Sitting inside in front of the warm fireplace with a cup of tea or hot chocolate listening to the weather outside.

My wellies get some use now as well. I actually imported wellingtons to Spain as I found the only ones I could get were those long green ones. You know the prober farmer/fishermen type of boots.

When I am out walking the dogs in the rain with my all weather coat and my wellies I do get some looks. Spanish people don’t tend to dress appropriately for the weather in the winter. At least not down here in Southern Spain. Unless you have to work outside all day, people seem to think that an umbrella will suffice just fine.

I disagree. You will not see me in high heels walking down the steep village streets when the rain is hammering down creating little rivers in the street. To me that’s just plain stupid.

And when El Rubio gets older I will be right out there with him jumping in the poodles..
