As unpredictable as the weather !

I should say i understood the meaning of this expression really only in the past few months.... for one who has grown up in a city like chennai, the weather is actually very predictable, the only variants being warm, hot or toasty - with a brief monsoon thrown in once a year...
hmmm....but here, we are nearing the end of june, but the weather has been alternating between rainy and warm... a few days of bright sunshine, and just when we thought we were officially into summer, we've been having a rainy spell again...
but that's not all....a few days ago, on a quite bright day, we had decided to go out to catch up with some shopping, when the skies turned dark and it started raining....
K called up to say to say that he was heading home from office, and as there were thunderbolts and lightning, we cancelled the shopping plans and decided to settle down with some chilli bajjies and tea !
by the time i finished frying the bhajjis and sat down to dig into them, i got so irritated as weather turned bright and sunny again....at seven thirty in the evening...
so much for my plans of enjoying a hot cup of tea watching the rain !
talk about unpredictable !!
