after the storm

It's been thunderstorming, as of late. Usually rainy weather depresses me, but I find that this time, it's quite cathartic. Walking to work today was absolutely beautiful, with the sun shining and everyone out in their jaunty summer shorts and skirts, walking, talking, or enjoying a bit of sun-filled solitude. I wish my life could always be like this- a perpetually sunny morning, walking to a not-too pressing engagement with plenty of time and Jane Birkin's effortlessly sensual voice singing "La Madrague" into my ears.
