Ten days of rain

Post by rubgum »

I recently listened to Rod Stewart, he sang "Ten days of rain" , from the Album
"Every beat of my heart".
Have you ever experienced such a long time of pouring rain , and could you stand it ? :?

I can't remember 10 days of continual rain, but at the moment in the u.k. we have unusually dry conditions, a couple of days rain would be good.

Not quite ten days of rain but here in Wales it's rained for almost a week and we've had over three inches in that time. My bar Mac and Aquo boots have hardly ever been dry in that time. Lovely!

9 days come very close. One day the "magic" 10 days will be yours :D

Nowadays, rain is just in our imagination. :(

I'm sure it will happen some time in the future :)

Or I will just wear some kind of rainwear from november to end of march :)
Whatever you do, you do it right.
I just wanted to ask you where you live, but then I saw Sweden.
I am sure that I never had more than 2 days of rain.
I have to visit Sweden, to see for myself that 9 days are for real, and not
forget to wear my long raincoat for a long time ;)

Just do it in the right time of the year and be prepared to get wet :)

so you're wrong if you think I'm getting wet :P
