rain rain go away

[leedy]

Dear weather,

Please turn into what I consider to be proper November weather, viz: crisp, cold, sparkly days with bright skies and lots of autumn leaves. This grey drizzling shite is NOT ACCEPTABLE.

love,

Lisa

My God, yesterday evening was horrible. I left work as usual at 5.30 to make sure I got to my yoga class, trudged up Pearse St. being precipitated on while attempting to dodge splashes from cars going through the GIANT LAKES OF WATER (because, you know, obviously we don't need proper street drainage because it never rains, or something), joined the giant mob being rained on at the bus stop, waited for aaaaaages for a bus, finally squashed onto a bus filled with wet miserable people, crawled on said bus up to Stonybatter through typical Dublin every-person-for-him-or-herself wet weather traffic ("I know! I'll get home quicker if I drive perpendicular to everyone else!"), got to the centre just in time for my class, only to discover that IT HAD BEEN CANCELLED because the teacher was stuck in traffic. ARGH. Made trudgy way home (weather: less rain, but made up for by advent of Giant Howling Icy Gale) to remove sodden trousers and assess damage to possessions. Discovered that some of the rain managed to sneak into my bag and waterlog attractive cover of new Kate Bush CD. Gnashed teeth. I managed to recover my equilibrium through the judicious use of a)a hot shower, b)snuggly pyjamas, c)homemade soup, d)knitting, e)crap telly - but only just about. If there's any more of that nonsense this evening THERE WILL BE TROUBLE.

This happened to me last Tuesday - left work early, fought traffic from Swords to Aungier St (some feat!) and made it into college, to find that the lecturer had cancelled for circumstances "beyond her control". And I'd been slaving the night before on an assignment!

Gaaaah.

Let's hope it goes better today!

It'd want to, I have to go out to Phibsboro and look at a house. Oh well, at least I'd find out if it leaked....

See now, there's always an upside!!

(I should be signing next week! Not posting till it's done - I have been melodramatic enough about it!!)

And that, of course, would have been me.

If it helps, it's absolutely pissing it down here, my umbrella has a lifespan of about five minutes and I have to go to work tonight.

I think I shall wear my fetching waterproof trouser suit.

Man, rain *sucks*.

I am going to try REALLY HARD to find the sympathy that I'm sure you put in there somewhere.

Aaargh! I hope the weather's better tonight. We had nasty rain here on Sunday afternoon, seemingly timed just for when I would be walking around with bextera. But we were bookshopping, so that made up for it.
