I attract rain!
It's a fact. Ireland is a wet country - I don't think I'll get any disagreements with that but it seems that as long as I am indoors the sun will shine.
The weather report on the radio this morning said it would be a wet day. I looked out the window to see the sun shining and the birds singing. It was, to my mind, a beautiful Spring day. So I left hats and umbrellas at home and off I went. There was a light drizzle as I headed to the office.

At lunch time I decided to nip out to the bank. It looked dry and I thought I'd make it before the rain came. By the time I got outside the door, there might as well have been a little guy standing above me emptying a bottomless bucket over my head.

Now, I'm back at the office and the sun is splitting the rocks. It is, by all visual accounts, a wonderful Spring day agian. I on the other hand, am cold and damp. I look like a drowned rat and am clutching my cup of coffee for warmth - I am not happy.

I am the Rain King.
