It’s raining again. And that is always good news. Why? Because when it rains, I can actually open my window and keep it open for a while.

Not that I couldn’t do that on sunny days as well. But you see, with all the dust and pollution in the air, opening your windows usually comes with a risk. Yes, you may actually be able to get some of the bad smells coming from the bathroom under control, but at the same time you’re opening the flood gates for a dust invasion. And with the poor air quality we’ve been having around here, others might consider opening a window flat out dangerous. And in any case it’s a rather sketchy exchange, switching one for the other, I mean.

And that’s why rainy days come in handy. Because on rainy days the rain gives the air a bath so to speak, washing it clean (that’s my theory) and what actually will come in through your window is, in fact, fresh air. Sounds like a deal, right?

Off to open my window.
