Under the weather
To feel unwell or in low spirits
Fair weather friend
Someone who’s only around when things are going well
Get wind of something
Hear a rumour of something
Save for a rainy day
To put money aside for a future time when it might be needed
Rain cats and dogs
To rain very hard
On cloud nine
Extremely happy
A rainbow chase
Something that doesn’t exist or is impossible to get.
Head in the clouds
To be out of touch with reality; to be daydreaming
Break the ice
To get conversation going in a strained situation or when strangers meet
When it rains, it pours
When it rains, it pours When something goes wrong and a whole bunch of things go wrong at the same time
Lightening fast
Really fast
Brighten up the day
When something happens and makes you feel really happy.
Life isn’t all rainbow and unicorns
There are bad things that happen
