The rainy season has come to Suzhou and it’s really quite miserable. Everything is wet and there is condensation on most things because the temperature is still so high. The humidity, when it’s not raining is around 70% which is really quite dreadful and of course when it is raining it’s around 100% because I’ve noticed that I get wet very quickly when I go out into it, even if I’m not moving too much.

Even when it stops you get wet just standing still. The rain is vertical, which is way better than that horizontal stuff that you seem to get in Scotland. I like the rain but the downside of living in China for me is that I do not have a car and so I have to venture out into this most days. At my home my car is in the garage and I have an electric door on the garage which I just love because in weather like this I can go from car to hoose and vice versa without so much as a drop of H2O landing on me skull.

I also should invest in a pair of wellies because you know how good they are and they can protect you from many things not just the rain.

And because I live on the 4th floor , I think I have a little time up my sleeve to prepare for the rising water levels and maybe finish that Ark.
