The rain is noisy, can't sleep - get up early.
Have a cup of coffee.
Write some emails to friends.
Let the cat help.
Pet the cat.

Have some more coffee.
Write.
When there's a break in the rain, walk to a cafe.
Have another coffee.

Enjoy the silent company of friends.

Write some more, people watch, yak with friends, watch the rain.
Order some lunch.
Have another coffee, with chocolate and almonds (made with real cacao straight from the plantation up the valley).

Watch the rain.
Go for a run in the light drizzle/mist/humidity.
Put on a nice dress, have a drink with the girls (turn down the offer of a puff from the very lovely 50+ couple at the Jungle Beach House celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary), and go out for dinner.

Lay in bed and listen to the rain falling on the tin roof.
