Bleak, bleak day.
Cold. Much colder than the sunny days i'm used to when i would perspire like a beast of burden without the air conditioning.
But not today. It rained the whole freaking day, since 4 a.m. It came in torrents. It came in icy sheets. It came in silvery drizzles. It came... in dense showers. And then, it poured.
After the cats and dogs had cleared off, for considerably quite some time, i drove off to the basketball court.
Not a soul to be seen on the court, but field next to the court was packed with people in some sort of neighbourhood-watch-gathering-cum-police-speech.
I sat around wondering whether the meeting would be distracted by the noise of a bouncing basketball.
Then... i felt raindrops falling on my head. Polka dot water stains began dotting the court floor. Catching a glimpse of a few umbrellas popping up from the neighbourhood watch crowd, i made my escape back to the shelter of my car.
That was 9p.m.
Now it is well past midnight and here i am, sitting, blogging and listening to the rhythm of the falling rain, falling outside, falling in a sickening dense shower.
Here i am, sitting, fuming, and hoping that the rain will just fall fall fall like a cascading waterfall until the freaking clouds are dried up so that my Friday will be a dry one.
