天黑黑

It's been raining the whole day.

The sky has been overcast since I was on my way to work. Sometime after I reached the safety of my office, the imminent downpoured began, turning everything beyond the window to various shades of grey. The weather caused the temperature in my office to drop so much that I had to put on a jacket on top of my long-sleeved shirt, but then, I am recovering from the cold I caught on New Year's Eve.

In countries which lie in higher latitudes, freezing temperatures and blizzards are causing tremendous trouble for the locals, and possibly even endangering their lives, especially for those trying to recover from the aftermath of the South Asian earthquake.

Looking as far as I could out of my office window, where the visibility has been limited to a kilometre and the scenery dulled to a lifeless gray by the unceasing torrents of rain, I can't help but to feel that if the weather spoils my plan to kayak, I'm still not that unlucky after all.
