5 Things Tuesday: Favourite Rainy Day Activities
🌀🌀🌀
• Staying indoors and watching rain;
This s the best way to enjoy rainy days. I stay near a window or a veranda and listen to the rain and thunder.
• Eating samosas and pakoras;
It’s a tradition that one gets together with family too enjoy these deep fried treats with a cup of tea.
• Reading;
Since one doesn’t want to venture out, staying home and reading something interesting is the best way to enjoy this time.
• Blogging;
Another lovely way to spend free time. I am always looking for a few spare moments to read posts from the blogs I follow and to answer the comments.
• Going for a aimless drive and enjoying my favorite music;
When I was younger this used to be my favorite activity on a rainy day. Now I am a bit cautious and don’t indulge in it often because driving in rain isn’t that easy at my age.

You can easily do that by going to an Indian restaurant. They serve both as appetizers.

I see why you enjoy these activities . They sound fun. I used to enjoy a drive in the rain, but caution is needed here. Most drivers have no idea how to drive in the rain. They speed even worse than when there is no rain.

If you ever go to an Indian restaurant, these are available in most of them. Though they can be on the spicy side.
