Toes or shoulders

Melbourne put on a corker of a rainstorm today...fabulous buckets of driving wetness. It's such a change from the normal tedium of summer heat, and the angst of the drought - so all you can do is sigh and step boldly into puddles. But Melbourne weather has a tone of capriciousness that cannot be ignored. Today it was the choice of getting soaked from your socks to your knickers within 6 steps of shelter, or braving the brolly which in the strong gale turns into a paraglider and causes your arms to be wrenched from their sockets.

After 5 minutes of almost losing my footing and getting tugged into traffic, I gave up to the greater power and tramped damply to the tramstop.
