A random word generator told me to draw a Weather Competition today – which I thought was rather apt, since the last few days have felt a bit like a tug of war between sun and rain, each really giving its all until the other got a turn again.

Mind you, I’m not sure about the scoring – the judges seem unabashedly biased in favour of sunshine, not to mention that they should have included some other species in the panel for inclusiveness (how would a cat have voted? a grasshopper?). I personally think the rain shows much more panache and style than the sunshine, and would rate it a solid 9.2.
