When I left the house for my morning walk, there was water in the air, like the remnants of a thick mist, not rain. I had put a cardigan on as a buffer against the slight breeze, but the water made me suspicious. I went back inside and swapped the cardi for a raincoat. Good job I did. As well.
I was about 200 yards down the road when the drizzle started, I stopped, paused, thought “I don’t want to get wet” turned round and headed for home. Just a few yards and the drizzle stopped. I stopped paused and thought “ I really want to do the high street, plus I’m wearing a rain coat”. I turned round again and returned to my morning walk.
I’m not happy with my efforts on the high street. For one, it started raining again. My notebook was getting wet. For two, it’s very frustrating not every place has a street number, I was only doing the southside today, and with the lack of street numbers a n the rain, it wasn’t easy. In the end, I took a picture of every shop that east of one of the big chain shops.
Rather than my notebook, I might as well just take pictures. More tomorrow.
I should add, but for the raincoat I would have been absolutely drenched.
