When I woke this morning something seemed wrong. For one I was parched and dizzy when I stood up but I quickly diagnosed that as an insufficient amount of water after yesterday’s gym session. Something was still wrong. It was dark. I peered out the curtains to see low grey clouds in the sky. The ground appeared to be wet but my newly awoken short-sighted eyes couldn’t make out if it was raining or not.
One shower and pair of glasses later I could see the rain. Rain! After endless sunshine I wasn’t sure how I felt about this, despite knowing it is desperately needed by everyone. I scurried from the front door to the car getting wet in the process but for once not pounced on by the dogs. Muddy wet paws wouldn’t have matched my dress very well. I presume they were hiding under something somewhere.
I sat in the driver seat and couldn’t quite figure out what to do next. Rain means wet windscreen. Wet windscreen means something; ah wipers. Wipers mean; now, how do I turn them on again?

I, who grew up in the land of rain, could not remember where the windscreen wipers turn on. I’ll be the laughing stock once I go home!
I love the sound of rain on the roof at night or when I can stay home and be cosy, but I am almost always caught out by the multitude of challenges that rain presents when I need to go out in it! Hmm, now where were those windscreen wipers again?
