the fight

I had a fight this morning. I don't think the fight produced a winner, but in an hour or so I will have to step off the bus and suffer Round 2. My opponent? Wind. Not the kind that lives in the tummy, gurgling away happily to itself. No, this was Weather Wind. Not content with just sending down great big dollops of rain and creating ginormous puddles, Weather thought it would add a little Wind too. Well, I say little but I obviously mean BIG! The crux of the matter was Umbrellal. I wanted Umbrella to keep me dry. Wind wanted to simply play with Umbrella. I tugged down. Wind yanked up. Wind crept up and blasted Umbrella into the air. I swore and hung on tight, hoping not to do a Mary Poppins. Although, spending the day on an animated carousel with a fake Cockney is preferable to work, so ... I think I might pop along to Amazon and write a review for Umbrella, just six months or so after buying it. Not only is it water resistant {just like it claimed to be!} but it's also wind resistant {just like it claimed to be!} As Umbrellas go, it was fairly expensive, but at least this means my fight with Wind ended in a draw, and not with me having to bin a broken Umbrella, torn to shreds by too much bluster. Round 2 coming up ... !
