I guess it was when the sun came out yesterday and it was glorious and I took a walk in the park that I realised that I had not been in the brightest of moods the last few days. Not that I wasn’t enjoying Seattle, but yesterday as the sun warmed my cheeks and I was surrounded by beautiful trees I smiled and exclaimed, “Seattle is great!” Hmm…could this be because of the sun? Could it be that the grey and misty drizzle that Seattle seems to get constantly was dragging my mood down?
I’ve lived in the London grey and rain for the last six years. I’ve grown accustomed to short winter days, long winter nights, the grey blanket sky and rain. It’s a part of me. But what I keep saying to people is, “Would I choose this weather again?” When I have a choice would I choose to live in that sort of climate again? It’s not particularly that I notice the rain or the grey, but I sure do notice the sun. It’s such a contrast. It is ironice though that while in Austin I complained about the heat. Would I ever be happy? What is the perfect climate and therefore, city with the perfect climate. Suggestions taken, so suggest away!
