April showers

So far April's been all about the sun. And the heat. And the walking about without a coat in sunglasses.

When the dark clouds gathered and the wind started up as I was walking back home through the park, I knew what was coming.

The odd drop spotted my coat and I thought 'it's just a drop or two.'

The wind started blowing steady rain in my face and I thought 'I'm almost home.'

The torrential downpour plastered hair to my face and I thought 'what's the point of carrying an umbrella around in your bag if you never get it out and use it?' I didn't though.

I got inside the flat, peeled off my soaking coat, and the sun came out.
