The weather has been even shitter than usual in the UK this spring. Normally we’d have had a few decent days by now, but it’s just been cold, windy and overcast after our unsettlingly mild winter.

Anyway, it’s amazing how much a bit of sun picks up my mood. The sun is out today and the world seems slightly less shit. The birds are singing and I’m seeing insects flitting about.

The sun is good for mental health.

    It’s funny because I am kind of the opposite

    I always feel better on overcast or rainy days

    Probably something to do with my allergies and the weather dissuading the plants from shooting pollen into my face

      SAME but I’m not allergic to pollen or anything kitty-birthday-sad I just like grey, cloudy, rainy/windy days 110% more than I do your standard clear day. literally will wake up with a smile on my face as soon as my brain realizes ‘oh, that sound is raindrops hitting the window’
