Czasem słońce, czasem deszcz, czasem burza a i nawet śnieg. Pogoda w naszym klimacie  jest tak zmienna, że nie da się za nią nadążyć. W dzisiejszym poście poznamy pogodowe idiomy. Nie wszystkie będą aż tak ponure jak it’s raining cats and dogs.  Kiedy jest pochmurno  to i my jesteśmy ponurzy i bez energii, ale pamiętajmy, że every cloud has a silver lining i kiedyś w końcu pojawi się dzień dla sun worshippers i będziemy mieć okazję, aby wygrzać się na słoneczku – soak up the sun!
