A night for abandoned brollies (and modesty!)
When I left the house this morning, there was a weird sense of waiting calm in the air. It was overcast but pale, pearly grey and bright-ish.
A little after noon, it started raining. By the time I left work for home, the streets were full of puddles and the wind was blowing sheets of rain sideways. I saw a few people struggling with umbrellas but most, like me, turned up their jacket collar and put their hood up if they had one, and carried on.
I was decidedly glad for my thick, warm black leggings, though, because with those kind of gusts, my minidress did not exactly stay down, LOL.
Tomorrow, I expect to see umbrellas littered round, with broken spokes and snapped spines. They seem to be the biggest casualty of a rainstorm round here.
