sean is feigning happiness in this shot, although his jumper deserves a smile. it's been pouring with rain here all week, with the wettest sydney july in fifty years. it just DID NOT STOP for about four days. sean, barista extraordinaire, was so sick of people talking about the weather he put up a sign of the coffee machine saying 'blah blah blah... something about the weather'. it didnt stop people talking about it. do you see? i'm still doing it, even though i think it might be over now. or at least occasional showers as opposed to just constant day and night heavy, heavy rain.
i got caught out without an umbrella (lost) and rainjacket (left in melbourne) so i fashioned this clever all-weather gear which meant i just walked through the rain like a terminator. you remember that scene when arnie is coming out of the lift and all those cops are shooting at him in T2 and he keeps getting hit but keeps moving forward? it was like that...people were running and covering themselves with things and umbrellas blowing themselves inside out, and i just strolled along as though it were a summer's day in my trenchcoat, cap, long boots. only my knees got wet and who cares about knees, anyways?
this is just one of the many, many traffic snarls experienced all week 'cause despite it always raining heavily for long periods in winter up here, our city always seems surprised by it. this was the view up the road, traffic not really moving... 20 min bus ride into work took 40, etc. blurrrgh. i don't mind the rain but after a while it does get a bit boring with every day being the same.
aaaaaaaaaand... here's the downside to my all-weather outfit - caphair. small price to pay, really.
