Raining

[julesjones]

My plans for this afternoon included uploading the cover art for Mindscan to Wolfcamera's online print shop, and then walking around to the local bricks-n-mortar in an hour or so to pick up the prints and get A Current Official Identity Photo that I need for some unconnected paperwork due on Friday morning. Then I was going to cycle up to the local craft shop and peruse the cross-stitch bookmark kits, as I've realised that I can indulge my addiction^Whobby without guilt if I use the results as giveaways to entice victims to my announcements list. This programme would achieve many useful things, not least of which is getting some exercise.

Just as I was making my lunch, it started chucking it down with rain. It looks as if it has set in for the afternoon. Bah humbug.

Wear a mac. Cycling in the rain can be quite pleasant if it isn't cold.

When I said chucking it down, I *meant* chucking it down. So two problems -

a) the roads were slippery and I was still jet-lagged, not a good combination

b) I was going for An Offical Identity Photograph. My cycling mac does not have a hood. My cycling helmet has vent holes. Didn't particularly want OIP taken when I'm wet and bedraggled looking.

It did stop chucking down later, so I cycled to the camera shop, and later I wlaked to a friend's house for dinner, thus getting in my exercise quota for the day.
