A rainy day

It rains a lot in Tirana. Usually, it rains in the fall (autumn). The sky is gray and cloudy.

When it rains, I take the umbrella. Sometimes, I wear a raincoat and rain boots. I don’t like to walk in the rain. There’s a lot of traffic in Tirana. I don’t want to be late for work, that’s why, when it rains a lot, I go to work by taxi. I don’t go by bus because there are many people on the bus.

My children are happy when it rains. They enjoy playing in the rain. Our cat is afraid of the rain. She stays under the bed.

In the evening, I want to stay at home and drink a warm cup of tea. I enjoy looking at the rain from the window. After I eat dinner, I watch my favorite TV show. My wife listens to music and drinks a glass of wine. Sometimes, she bakes a lemon cake. We sleep very well when it rains.
