Bit wet out

I woke up this morning and from within the warm, cocoon-like duvet, my semi-concious form heard rather a lot of rain falling outside. And wind. Naturally, having planned a quiet day of writing and working, this didn't bother me, and I switched on the television in my room to Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear, which probably explains a lot about my personality.

Then I get a text from my good friend Emma Long stating that she was soaking wet on her journey to college. Like the considerate friend I'm not, I invited her over for a brief respite, prepared a towel and awaited her arrival at my door. When she stumbled in, she was wetter than... well, you just finish that innuendo in your head.

All over the news are reports of transport delays and apparently even some school closures. My Dad offered to give Emma a quick lift to college after our gossiping, and I went with, experiencing the full force of the elements as I failed to keep the front door of the house closed.

This, then, is definitely the much talked about 'rainy day'. So anything you've saved for it - assuming you are sensible enough to save money - now is the time to stay in and shop online with it... keep warm.

Which is why I'm going out later.
