After a short holiday in Copenhagen, I am back in Berlin, and I think I am coming down with a cold. The weather in Copenhagen went from scorching on Tuesday to monsooning by Saturday night. The city received two months of rain (150mm) in a span of two hours complete with thunder, lightening and huge chunks of hail. Train service was interrupted, just about everything that could be flooded, was flooded, and drowned rodents floated in the streets. It was pretty exciting. LOL I recorded a short video during our cab ride home.
Berlin must have taken a sip of what Copenhagen was drinking because it's pouring here too. Thank goodness I don#t have to worry about my hair getting wet like many black expats living in Germany. The forecast for the rest of the week doesn’t look any better which is contrary to the outcome of Siebenschläfertag or Seven Sleepers Day. Seven Sleepers Day was June 27th, this day is suppose to determine the weather for the next 7 weeks. The weather on June 27th was 30 degrees, sunny and beautiful. Today it is 16 degrees, balmy and raining. It would appear that German superstitions are just as unreliable as everyone else's.
As to the title of the post, this rain makes me think of this song and then I miss my dear Panda Bear.
