Passing
showers
We have a
Velux skylight in the kitchen, which makes an otherwise dark room much lighter and brighter.
It has an integrated rain sensor which closes the roof automatically when it
starts raining. The sound of it cranking closed is often the first indication
that rain is falling. Sometimes, children have been known to tip water out of
the bedroom window to activate it, to their amusement and our irritation! It’s good to be able to open it and let in
fresh air. When I came downstairs this morning, the kitchen smelt fresh and sweet.
A short while
later, I heard the Velux closing. When I looked outside, I couldn’t see any
sign of rain – no wet spots on the patio or the flowers and trees. It must have
been a swiftly passing shower, so rapid, indeed, that it might have been a
ghost.
