The long rain

Ray Bradbury has a short story called The Long Rain about a group of astronauts walking in the constant rain on Venus. The rain literally drives them crazy, one at a time.

Lately I've the same feeling. It has rained every single day for over a month. Some days constantly, other days with dry moments in between the showers. People say that it has been the rainiest autumn ever in the Faroe Islands.

As if to rub alt into the wound, the nights have often been clear and moonlit. We've even had some northern light. I'm in for at trade with just a little sunshine once in a while. Or at least a couple of days without rain.
