It sort of follows that the US gets some sort of storm or hurricane and a few weeks later we get some sort of "weather event". Well yesterday was like Armageddon, the heavens opened and the skies darkened and rather than walk I had to get public transport to the event.
Today, we were told that it would be a lovely sunny day and that overnight - like 2 or 3 am it would get wet and windy. WRONG. We had been in London, actually al fresco although it was a bit blowy earlier on but around about 9:30 all hell broke loose and the wind was driving the rain sideways so we headed to the train station and there were (unusually) lots of people around. All the trains were delayed due to inclement weather, signal problems and on my line a broken down train.
I need to pack the stuff I was wearing tonight ready so I can go away tomorrow - I have it all laid out drying as I'm soaked to the skin and once again the call home where three drivers and two cars on the drive went unheeded and I ended up getting a thorough soaking whilst waiting in the bus shelter and between the bus stop and home my trousers are soaked through and my umbrella is suffering from being blown inside out. Call me a cynical bastard but you'd have thought one of them would have answered my request for a lift. One of them actually rang me as I was on route to London asking for a lift from the station when it was dry and sunny.
Hopefully I'm not getting paranoid about this but this isn't the first time that I've ended up soaked to the skin because no one would come out. It wasn't even that late 10:30 but there you go. Luckily I'm away for a few days and sod them all. At least I will be enjoying myself for the next few days and very much like this evening have a good old time to take my mind off things.
