I didn't look at the weather forecast so I put on a light-weight maxi dress. I met a couple of friends for brunch today, I got there first and by the time that they arrived it was absolutely pissing down so both of them had to sit in their cars for 10 mins before realising that it wasn't going to stop and running for the cafe.
Lovely brunch, rain stopped. Just as we were about to leave torrential rain started again, with thunder and lightning and rivers running through the roads. We all got wet running for our cars. Then I stopped off to get salad (lovely, lovely Waldorf salad) to have with tonight's dinner and filled rolls for the DC for lunch, still raining buckets.
Got home and my drive was a huge puddle, well above the depth of my slightly platform sandals, almost deep enough to completely cover my feet. As I got out of the car I fumbled the salad and it fell into the puddle lid side down. I bent down to pick up the container to throw it out, but forgot to hitch my dress first so the bottom six inches were totally soaked. The type of dress is one that goes on and off over my head, which was especially unpleasant when soggy.
I'd had a parcel delivered while I was out and it was left at the front door, which is usually very well protected from the rain but when I picked it up to carry it inside the cardboard was soaked and gave way so that the contents fell on the ground (fortunately not breakable).
I'm planning to stay in for the foreseeable future.
