MY LOVE-HATE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WEATHER REPORT

As you know, I have a pretty serious Instagram addiction. But it doesn't stop there, because I also have a pretty serious addiction to the weather report. While many people enjoy their horoscope every day, I have that with the weather report. And not just with the weather report of the place where I am, but also from places I have been.

So I can find enormous satisfaction in knowing that it is now 37 degrees in Rio, and -12 in Mongolia. In New York, it hovers below freezing and in Hong Kong, it is 17 degrees. Completely useless information that I have no use for, but still, it makes me happy. When I check the weather report for places I am actually going to, it is no longer just about my pleasure, but about Important Information because: what can I wear today?

Especially here in the Netherlands, that is a thing. As you know, I currently have a serious relationship with Valentino, but I can hardly wear them since I am not ready for them to get wet. So if the weather report says there is a small chance of rain, they have to stay in their box. In New York, it is even more of a problem. Not only is there danger lurking in the form of rain, but there is also snow on the streets and oh my handsome Valentinos really do not like snow at all.

But well, there is also a downside. Because when the weather report turns out to be wrong, my whole world collapses. “HOW COME rain, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO STAY DRY” is a sentence I have shouted more often than is good for me and my shoes. The annoying thing is that the weather report is almost always wrong. Or at least very often. Those are uncertainties in life that I have not yet been able to place well.

So I swing from love to hate and back again. I am nowhere without the weather report while my life would be a lot less stressful if I weren't busy every minute of the day wondering if it is going to rain. In New York, there is at least a 25% chance of rain every day while we are there. Guys, my heart. I will keep you updated.
