A Rainy Day at Home diary example

Sunday

It rained all day. The sky was gray, and the street was very quiet. I wanted to go to the park, but I stayed home.

In the morning, I cleaned my room. Then I called my sister. We talked for twenty minutes. She could hear the rain through my window.

After lunch, I made tomato soup and read a funny book on the sofa. The soup was hot, and the rain was loud. I felt warm and safe inside. It was not an exciting day, but it was a good day.

Why this entry works

01

Connect a change of plan with “but”

“I wanted to go to the park, but I stayed home” puts the plan and the reality in one sentence.

02

Use sounds and temperature

“The soup was hot” and “the rain was loud” make the scene easier to imagine with very simple words.
