It's wet and there is nowhere dry to sit! Lockdown sucks!

At least you have coffee?

Sorry....posted too soon!

Waiting for the bus in the rain sucks...lockdown or not! There is always a drip in the corner, and the person with the brolly has already got there and tactfully avoided the drip.....

Are you actually writing for a bus or just looking for somewhere outside to sit and drink coffee? I don't now what bus stop etiquette is.

I'm just sitting there to drink my coffee. I usually live in Caffè Nero on my days off. I would go and sit in the market square and people watch but I'll get a wet bum!

I live on my own so struggling a bit with not seeing people. Though fortunately I still get to go to work. And I love my job.

I have taken to popping a carrier bag in my handbag to sit on, to avoid a soggy bum! A flannel might also help, to wipe down metal/plastic seats, like a mini towel.

It depends on the bus shelter. The one I sat in on Godstone Green on my last journey before the restrictions was lovely, but the one near my house in London I would avoid and find a local park.

I bring a pac-a-mac in my bag to spread out on a bench so I can sit down on it without getting a wet bum.

That's a good idea. It's stopped raining so now in market square with a cup of tea. Bum slightly damp! I hate this state of just existing instead of living. Wishing the days away quickly. Life shouldn't be like that.

Invest in a golf umbrella and a small sitting mat. They are a pain to carry but will keep you dry and you can sit on any bench and people watch.
