Yes, noticed the rain ever so slightly. Caused part of the motorway north of Hamburg to be closed due to some fsckwits who can't drive in the wet being allowed out. So after queuing for what seemed like 3 hours was diverted off and the navigator took me on a wonderful trip through the city in the rushhour.
On the way back downpour after downpour! But luckily, the rain over the weekend had already washed the idiots off the roads, so was able to make a respectable 140 kph average for the trip home, taking 9 hrs 38 minutes.
Then last night was a thunderstorm...Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

went for a good bike ride on Sunday, in the rain, took the gf to the top of Box hill up a trail then down a steep one, which if I'm honest was a little too advanced for her. Got back after doing at 14mile ride, covered from head too toe in mud!SA says;
Well you looked so stylish I thought you batted for the other camp - thats like the ultimate compliment!
I couldn't imagine you ever having a hair out of place!

It rained a bit on Saturday night in Dublin but then you're rarely out of the bar in Ireland... unless you smoke!Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
