    oh come ON...

    4pm - 7pm, ideal timing for my commute when I decided to leave the bag of wet gear at home in a rush...

    Dark cloud seems to be building in the south west.

    It was very warm this morning and I was able to wear just a t-shirt (well, not *just* a t-chirt...)
    Waterproofs are always in the bag though...

    Rain on the pane. (Just a few spots).

    As a French man said "Après Moi..."

    "t-chirt and chorts?"

    Shortle.

    I mean, chortle.

    Jeans, not shorts. It's business casual on a Friday, but shorts is a step too far,

    That t-chirt and chorts joke is way old.

    Torrential in my Taggart-like industrial wasteland in the south east of the city, and I have a long walk to the bus stop. (Long story).

    It is just short sharp showers, if you are lucky you can miss them.

    I wasn't so lucky. I managed a lovely warm sunny spin into town with a tailwind, rumbled past the Meadows and then bam! Spent the next half an hour completely soaked and freezing cold, while rueing the fact that my rear light fell off a hundred or two miles ago and I hadn't got around to replacing it.

    A hot bath is a very appealing prospect.
