Rain


I'd had numerous thoughts about what I was gonna write about during the day, but none of them really seemed to stick. Then this evening we went shopping after work, looking for a present for a friends birthday at the weekend. And predictably, the heavens opened. Now in case you've not been following news of the British weather recently (and how could you not?), the rain here has been a little on the extreme side, leading to an awful lot of flooding and misery. Oddly enough though, Peterborough, a city almost entirely below sea level has been largely unaffected; indeed on the days that Sheffield was disappearing under torrential rain, we were having gloriously sunny happy weather. Not so tonight. I'd be exaggerating to suggest that it was rain of that nature, but there was an awful lot of it, and for the couple of hours it was raining we were naturally trudging about town, getting rather wet. And it'd been nice this morning, so I didn't have a coat with me, just wandering about in my shirt sleeves. Ah well. At least we found something to get, that was the important thing. That and it was too wet to walk all the way out to Games Workshop, so I wasn't tempted to buy any toy soldiers! Victory!
