Drought Breaking July 17, 2007

If this drought really is coming to an end, there are a few lessons I need to learn:

Finn has a parka for a reason. It can’t keep him dry if he’s not wearing it.

Finn (and Leila when the time comes) should have more than one pair of winter shoes so that there’s a pair to put on when he’s managed to step in every single puddle.

Although I’ve never been fond of hooded jackets or hats, I may have to learn to wear them. Juggling an umbrella, a pram and a 3 year old is not a skill I possess.

The storm cover for the pram is a necessity when it even looks like raining.

It’s better to arrive somewhere and have to peel off multiple layers than to be either soaked or frozen on the journey.

Free parking is a false economy on a rainy day.
