So it's March, right? Back, we can count on that meaning kinda cold, lots of rain, lots of sun, and the occasion freak snowstorm that just makes it disgusting to be outside for a day or two while it all melts away.
France, Paris at least, gets slightly different treatment...hail. We've had hail about 4 days this week. Not just once a day either, it's intermittant, hailing for 5 minutes, stopping, starting up half an hour later. They actually have a name for it, les giboulés de mars, and apparently it's surprising we haven't seen more of it before this past week. Every time it's hailed, les grêles have been pretty small, I actually walked home from the metro (about a 10 minute walk) in the middle of a douche du grêle yesterday.
Even though les giboulés de mars is bizarre, and can be rather unconvienent, I like it. There's something invigorating about a 5 minute hailstorm while you can still see the sun. It's a lot more lively than rain, that's for sure.
aaaannnnddd I just talked about weather for a couple paragraphs. Sorry for being so stereotypically dull for a whole post.
Completely unrelated: ANNA gets in tonight! Seeing Missy this past week made me more excited to see other people from home, and I know there will be fun times ahead!

Do you really need to resort to such crudities just because that's what your mother always accused me of when it's time to paint around the house????
