Rant 254 10/9/12 Subject: Downpours

Rant number 254

Today was warm and sunny, with just a teensy bit of cloud. Fair enough, it did darken throughout the day, but I still thought it was going to be a relatively balmy evening. I even had to briefly shut the blinds at work - to prevent being blinded by the bright sun.

On travelling home, the sky did open a little however, when I got home it had almost stopped and was just having a bit of a drizzle.

That's fine. I'm a British person - a bit of rain never hurt me.

Except, as soon as I left my house an hour later - the rain had become a downpour.

I swear it was like the entire sky had taken a diuretic and was just determined to soak me through to the skin. It also made driving to band an interesting experience! The M62 - a motorway not notorious for draining well went from wet road to practically swimming pool. My windscreen washers too completely outclassed and outgunned by the downpour.

I just don't understand how quite such bloody rain can fall in one day! It was practically biblical. The rain - which eased off during band, also started again - just as I was leaving! Meaning I had to repeat the experience - with the added dampness of having walked to my car.

It was like having a bucket dumped on you!

Rant over.
