Using them as an excuse to stay in bed all day
Look, I am not advocating in any way that you should skip work or school just so you can lie in bed all day because there is a little bit for rain outside, but it is a nice way to stay and home and relax. There is nothing better than waking up to the sound of rain tapping away on your window, and just curling back up in your duvet avoiding your responsibilities. Not to mention that if you don't go outside on a rainy day, you will not have to deal with the side affects of going outside - no wet socks or shoes, no wet hair ect. You truly get to enjoy your day. Although if you do go outside in the rain, there is nothing better to coming inside to a nice warm house and jumping straight into a hot bubble bath!
Listening to rain drops tap your window pane
As mentioned above, I love it when you can here the rain tap your windows, either when you are falling asleep or waking up. There is just a poetic feeling about being next to a window and just listening to the rain fall. What makes it better is if you have a nice hot drink and a book to read. I always like a little bit of background noise when I am reading a book, and the noise from the rain is perfect!
Not having to water the flowers
If you are someone who is really interested in gardening and has a lot of plants and flowers, then you are really in luck when the rainy season comes around! It's a relief to know that one chore is taken care off by the weather, and you will not have to worry about your plants drying up, since there is an awful lot of rainy days during the autumn!
Rainy day baking
I absolutely love rainy day baking! There is something so nice about having a freshly baked batch of biscuits or cakes on the table still slightly warm and eating them while it is cold and rainy outside. Plus, if you have nothing planned for that day, baking really passes the time on a rainy day. It is a fun activity and I am sure your family will love you for giving them baked treats on such a miserable day!
Wearing warm knitted clothes and boots
I absolutely love autumn fashion and getting to wear woolly jumpers. There is a reason it is my favourite season after all! I associate jumping in puddles with my childhood, and there is something about stomping through a big puddle that brings that childhood joy back to me. Also, I love going outside on a freezing cold day being wrapped up warm in a woolly jumper and scarf ready to face the day ahead.
Not having to worry about your hair
It's raining so why bother doing your hair if it is just going to get wet when you go outside anyway. The rainy season is a low maintenance season for me. Time to put the straighteners away, because as soon as I step outside my hair will just go frizzy anyway! The best part about it is that everyone will be in the same situation, so nobody is going to think you look silly for having wet hair if everybody has wet hair (plus, in university nobody really cares about what your hair looks like anyway, so that's an even bigger bonus!)
Having a Movie Marathon
If you can't go outside, why not make the most of being inside and binge watch that film or TV series. Order pizza, make a hot drink, invite friends round (maybe not in that order) and watch something that you have all been meaning to watch together. Its a bonus if you were all planning to go out anyway. Rather than cancel plans, make the most of your chance to be together and stay inside.
Those are just a few reasons wh I love rainy days, do let me know what you like about rainy days, and as always, thank you so much for taking the time to read this blog post! Do check back for tomorrows post!
