autumn rains (the real tuesday)

well, it felt a lot more autumnal today.  not just because a bit of a breeze earlier today brought quite a few leaves down.

but also because it chucked it down with rain

i went for a walk at lunchtime before the rain started. i’d just crossed over a busy road in a residential area and a little old lady hobbled over to me.   she gestured me over and i was expecting her to ask me to help her cross the road or something.  instead she said ‘would you like to buy a hat. they are 2 dollars’ (ie about 1 pound).

i thought, why not ?  so here’s the hat i bought for 2 dollars off a strange lady in quiet residential street by a busy intersection.

just after i bought it, it chucked it down with rain.  that’s weird isn’t it.  And it’s comedy hat day for the girls on Friday so that’s good timing.

and here’s another thing – it’s a sign outside a record shop which has lyrics of the day.  yesterday it was Falco’s Amadeus.

meanwhile jane went to a shopping centre with friends and the girls had a tennis lesson in the rain.
