I love the rain too. 
Luckily, I live in an area (in)famous for its abundance of rainfall. It's been raining all day, quite a bit, and I love it.

I'm sick of it being

It's making me go batty.
I've been to your part of the world Dunbots, and its lovely. I'm very jealous of your abundant rainfall, could you send some my way please.

Me too. We had sun a couple days ago and I was tired of it very quickly. 
If we have any extra I'll be sure to send some to you. 
I like mountains and valleys a lot, so I like it here.

I will swap. Anyone complaining about rainfall can come and live here. We actually have a desalination plant because our water supply gets critically low over summer and we have strict water conditions including not being able to water your garden unless you use a bucket and only on certain days of the week.

You think you don't get much rain? I live in a desert.
Edit: I can't wait for global warming to fix that (yes, global warming would lead to increased rainfall and shrinking of deserts).

I've been to your part of the world too. My grandparents lived in Reno.
The problem is, around here its agricultural. I am surrounded by fields of oil seed rape, wheat and vegetables. We have orchards and vineyards. Its just not normal for us to have so little rain. The crops are starting to suffer. Plus we have lots of pig farms near me, the ground is all dry and dusty, and they love their mud.
I'm used to it raining every day. I'm a fan of peat bogs. Ground should squelch when you walk on it.

Wow, I wouldn't like that. I have lots of vegetables in my garden, I don't have a hosepipe, but if I could only water on certain days my seedlings would die.

I would die in that kind of weather. Spending a day in the Sahara desert in Egypt was bad enough, and to top it off it was only winter season

I'm almost beginning to feel sorry for him, he looks so dejected all the time.
Could we not sacrifice Cameron instead? And Osborne, as part of a buy one get one free deal?
A BOG OFF on Cameron & Osborne, yes please
