Always Raining

Y'know, for all that people always talk about how much it rains in Scotland, I haven't find it rains that much here. Perhaps they are just having an atypical year, but it definitely rained more in Sackville than it has here thus far - and the sun makes much more frequent appearances. Even when it is raining a lot, there will still be sunny days mixed in, whereas in Sackville it would rain for two weeks straight with nothing but grey skies in sight (which was incredibly depressing). 

My current theory is that it rains at night here all the time and thats why their annual rainfall is so high. This theory is supported by the fact that though it will not have rained the day before, the streets are pretty much always wet when I leave my flat in the morning. 

Though I did get caught in the start of a particularly vicious rainstorm on my way home from school the other day, I was on my way home so I didn't really mind that much. It also snowed for like five seconds last saturday, so who even knows whats going on with the weather here (we didn't have snow stick to the ground all winter - just a five second flurry here and there).
