Cold and wet.

It bucketed down this afternoon. I was fed up with waiting at the City Road gates to get onto a bus - there were five pretty blue and white buses just sitting there, slowly loading up. But they were soon all full and drove off, leaving Simon and I, along with dozens of others in the rain.

We made a break for it and dashed across to Redfern Station. It really started to pelt down when we'd passed Biochem, and Abercrombie and Lawson Streets really resembled Seaworld. It was like a really unfortunate flume ride: gutters and drains overflowing, down pipes spraying water all over the footpath, feet inadvertently landing in deep puddles. Lots of splashing.

My umbrella was woefully inadequate, too. It's like those ultra-narrow spare tyres they put in new cars - only made for emergencies and almost entirely not suited to any sort of actual use. I think the only part of me that didn't get wet-- well no, I got wet all over; my clothes were totally saturated.

It capped off a pretty ordinary day. I fudged the results of my experiment in Chem Lab-- again. Just general misery, really. See, I wouldn't mind if it rained when it was nice, warm and sunny.
