Last night I met a friend at Emporium for dinner. The nightly monsoon timed itself perfectly, as usual. It started to absolutely piss down the moment I set foot outside the house. Thinking I would catch a taxi at the gate of our complex I rolled up my jeans, opened my Baby Pooh umbrella and made a run for it.
Thank you, Murphy, there was no taxi in sight. Not one to give up easily, I ran a little further thinking a taxi couldn't possibly be far away. By the time I was halfway down the soi, still no taxis I might add, I was utterly drenched!
Out of nowhere, the most intense gust of wind came hurtling down the soi and actually propelled me forward a few meters.
There was me, jeans sticking to me they're so wet, rolled up to my knees, sneakers making squelching noises from the vast amounts of water inside them, squinting against the downpour and bolting down the soi clutching manically onto an inside-out Baby Pooh umbrella.
...Thinking back, I must have been quite a sight. I am the neighbourhood entertainment.
Welcome Monsoon Season. I intend to invest in a pair of wellies and am seriously considering a neon orange rain suit.
