Wet weather blues

It isn't considered news that it rains in Ireland, but in the years I've lived here I have felt it doesn't rain as much as drizzle fairly regularly.
These last couple of weeks have been a little trying, however, since it has rained every day and most nights, not torrentially, except for a couple of very short bursts, but relentless moisture falling from the sky every day.
Yesterday, I was enjoying temporarily clear skies, when it bagan dripping from an apparently clear sky, followed by rain overnight and drizzle today. Yes, this is the pattern and I'm not sad to be occupied indoors, writing yet another essay: Irish landscapes, moist Claudean efforts mainly.
