Everything Except the Weather (Всё, кроме погоды)

My old friend, Harrison, had lived in the Mediterranean for many years before he returned to England. He had often dreamed of retiring in England and had planned to settle down in the country. No sooner had he returned than he bought a fine house and went to live there. Almost immediately he began to complain about the weather, for even though it was still summer, it rained continually and it was often bitterly cold. After so many years of sunshine Harrison got a shock. He acted as if he had never lived in England before. In the end it was more than he could bear. He had hardly time to settle down when he sold his house and left the country. The dream he had had for so many years ended. Harrison thinks of everything except the weather.

Перевод: Мой старый друг Харрисон много лет жил в Средиземноморье, прежде чем вернулся в Англию. Он часто мечтал о том, чтобы выйти на пенсию в Англии, и планировал поселиться в сельской местности. Едва он вернулся, как купил прекрасный дом и переехал туда. Почти сразу он начал жаловаться на погоду: хотя всё ещё было лето, дождь шёл непрерывно, а иногда было очень холодно. После стольких солнечных лет Харрисон был потрясён. Он вёл себя так, словно никогда прежде не жил в Англии. В конце концов это стало для него невыносимым. Едва успев обустроиться, он продал дом и уехал из страны. Мечта, о которой он грезил столько лет, закончилась. Харрисон думает обо всём, кроме погоды.
