Steem For Bangladesh Contest : Rainy day

Greetings to members of this group, happy Sunday from me, @destinedhanik from Nigeria to you all. We are in the rainy season and while most people enjoy the dry season, the rainy cannot be done sitout. @mostofajaman has given me the opportunity to share how I spend my rainy days and I'll do justice to it.

The rainy season in my country, Nigeria starts from April and ends in October. This period is when a lot of people do their farm work. I spend my rainy days doing various things especially on a day I don't have to go to work.

On days I don't go to work like weekends, I wake up late due to the cold. The first thing I do after observing my morning devotion is to boil hot water and drink. This helps in digestion and relieves the symptoms of cold.

After I have drank the hot water, I do my morning chores which includes sweeping the floor and cleaning the house. When I'm done with cleaning of the house, I have my bath and eat breakfast. On a rainy day, I wear cloth that covers me from head to toe and I even put on socks, because prevention is better than cure. My breakfast on a rainy day is usually tea and bread or custard. This is what makes up my morning activity on a rainy day.

Breakfast

Since the weather is always so cold, I go back to my bed after breakfast and sleep for an hour or two, when I wake up, I pass time by reading novels or watching movies. I love thriller movies. I also love Nollywood movies, that's Nigerian movies cos they tend to teach lots of lessons.

From the movie

This movie talked about the consequences of ignoring doctors report and going ahead to marry a particular person thereby bringing punishment on the children who turned out to be sicklers or SS. When I feel hungry, I cook what to eat. On a rainy day, the food I eat differs as I prefer spicy or pepperish food due to the cold.

One of the foods I eat on a rainy day.

When I'm done eating, I spend my time playing games on my phone that improves my thinking prowess, chief among which is scrabble. Scrabble helps improve my memory and helps me think fast. Sometimes I lose, but sometimes I win too.

The computer won me

When I'm tired, I read a little again or watch a movie before sleeping. My rainy day ends by 9pm as I try to sleep as early as 9pm. So that is how I spend my rainy day.

I want to call on @tempestinyang
