Sheets of Rain
A Most Urgent Purchase
By an amazing coincidence I was asked yesterday whether the rain had stopped. I said 'yes'. It has been warm and sunny for several days. Today it was so hot I got sunburn. So we took a nice, pleasant ferry ride to the pub. When we left a bit later it started to spit, typically just while we were walking back to the ferry stage. Then the heavens opened. We gave in and finally bought an umbrella. By the time we reached Circular Quay, and the waiting ferry, this was the view through the ferry's front windows. Not a single person was sitting outside, for some reason.
The Opera House, barely visible through the rain.
The Harbour Bridge, almost invisible.
