Just got wet

I read a quote somewhere the other day that "Some people walk in the rain. Other people just get wet". At the time I liked it, but today I just got wet. I had to go to the post office at lunch to post something I had forgotten to post all week, and it was raining hard and blowing a gale such that my special light-weight umbrella, which seemed like a good idea at the time, just flipped inside out and was impossible to use (and my bottom half was going to get soaked anyway), so I just gave myself up to the elements, screwed my face up at the weather and dashed along. Then I needed a little something extra for lunch so I bought a nice yoghurt, a Friday treat, from the cafe down the road, only to discover that the lid came off in the paper bag in the hurry to make it back inside and I had yoghurt swimming about everywhere when I got my wet self back to my desk with my dripping useless umbrella.

I mean there's rain and there's wind, which I like to walk in, and then there's that impossible combination of both. But I guess that is actually the point of the quote really isn't it - to enjoy where you find yourself.

My, what fun I had outside today in the wild weather with a paper bag full of yoghurt! Was so invigorating! Makes a person feel alive ...
