Braving the Puddles

Getting out of the pajamas and into the jeans was a good change.

Had been raining all day. Was thinking of worming out of the plans (as usual). But the call of coffee and girl chat was too strong. When I left the house though, the sun was shining over all the Kol streets (at least over the Kol street that I took). Took an auto. Sat in it for 5 minutes. The rains re-started. Got off auto while it was still raining. Struggled with umbrella. Contemplated bunking the umbrella idea and just letting the raindrops fall on my head. Forgot to stop struggling with umbrella. Lecherous man offered to help. Ignored him. Struggled more. And voila! No more raindrops on my head!

Met Jes. Braved the puddles to go and drink black currant smoothies (with ice-cream please). Chatted about people, work, some more people. Looked disapprovingly at the three noisy, spoilt kids running around the place. Checked out some Hot Wheels cars (I love Hot Wheels). Did some window shopping. Looked at tees, earrings, shoes, bags. Peeped at the price tags. Stopped looking at tees, earrings, shoes, bags. Felt poor. Grumbled. Braved the puddles again. Had fun. Should do this again sometime.

Nice weather today. Rainy. Moisture floating in on the breeze. Perfect, no-sweat, Kol monsoon weather. Love it.
