The aftermath, or rather a small spell of momentary dry intermission after three long days of ceaseless rains has left the world a gloomier, wetter, damper, cooler and somehow prettier place.
The skies have assumed an overall grey aura, and everything that seemed matte at first glance is now reflective.
There isn't a drop of humidity in the air, save a bite of bracing dampness and cool winds..had it not been for these chilly autumnal winds, this post would have been a long rant about humidity.
Warm weather, sunny Saturdays and bright bearings are going to a thing of the past now; Chinese winters are ruthless.
Taking advantage of the momentary interval from rains, I went out to get rid of the trash and after a few minutes of deep breaths realized with some gross confusion how the world has been ridden with creepy crawlies.
SLUGS, everywhere.
Slugs, centipedes, millipedes, earthworms, other assorted worms, snails..lots of snails and other wriggly usual suspects.
That was my cue or rather eww to repair to my house immediately, for if there is one thing that absolutely grosses me out is the sight of wriggling things.
Back to the warm comforts of my house that is now slowly turning into a mess.
Crumbs everywhere..but phew. At least they aren't wriggling (for now)
