I can't stand the rain




On Saturday Anthony took Diesel,Rosie and Dylan for a walk in the rain.
Not that there was much choice about that.
Unless they stayed in of course.
Anthony wore waterproofs.
Not because he was a girly man who could not handle the rain.
But because his big sister said so.
On the way to the fields it rained.
Anthony let the dogs run through the grass looking for pheasants.
The rain continued.
They walked around in circles.
It still rained.
Then they walked in straight lines.
The rain did not stop.
Nobody really knows what they did then.
But they do remember that is continued to rain.
There was so much rain that Anthony could not take any more photographs.
He could have bought a waterproof diving cover for his camera.
But he did not think he would need that in a field in Cheshire.
After two hours they walked home.
In the rain.
At least Anthony was still dry.
Except for his feet.
But he decided not to mention that.
He would not look good in wellingtons.
