The sky portends rain and my feeble immune system can’t handle a wetting
I have inherited our native disdain for rainwear. This creates a dilemma: the sky portends rain and my feeble immune system can’t handle a wetting
The solution is always the same. And generally leads to the same failed outcome. I begin by taking my phone out of my pocket and swipe along to the weather app. A little sun emoji appears. Grand. We’re in the clear. I can leave the rainwear at home. If no rain meets my hand, I’m good to go. If, on the other hand, a few droplets tickle my palm, I’ll follow the next step; check my phone again.It’s usually about 400m up the road that it begins. The light sprinkle that descends into downpour. My hair begins to stick to the side of my face. My jeans become soggy. Mascara drips down my cheeks.
