Weather

I was eating some marmalade on toast at home just now, and looked out the kitchen window, and saw that it was both sunny and raining, and thought, 'oh! that's cool!' and wandered around the house with my toast because marmalade and toast is best eaten while wandering around one's house, and I came after a few seconds to the sitting room window, which is on the opposite side of the house to the kitchen window, and saw that it was sunny but not raining! I figured the rain must've stopped, but I went back to the kitchen and saw that yes, there was still rain falling outside - so I went back to the sitting room window again (maybe it's showering?), and saw that it was still dry there! I looked out a window on a third wall in case there was some problem with the shadow of the house making the rain invisible, but the conclusion was the same. For about a minute, my house was half in rain (and by the way it was pretty heavy!), and half dry; and on both sides the sun was shining.

The weather has been totally nuts this year in St. Andrews. First there was the unprecedentedly heavy snowfall in winter; then there was the beautiful sun in April; then the unprecedented winds and general confusion in May (once - and this really deserves to not be stuffed into parentheses - it was simultaneously hailing and sunny!); then the miserable June. This is fitting in nicely to this pattern.
