So today started out bright and sunshiney and super warm - got to go out in a tank top, skirt and flip flops, and I was so excited at the change. Met up with a couple of new girl friends for lunch, got a table outside, it was really nice. But then the clouds started rolling in. And then when we were done with lunch, it started POURING. And I suddenly became very grateful that I was still uber-prepared and had a sweater and umbrella in my bag. But I still got quite soaked. And then the trains were held up because the lightning had knocked out the power in one of the stations, and when I finally made it home, I was shivering/coughing/sneezing/generally miserable and damp. Oh well. The coughing/sneezing stopped after an hour or so, so I don't think the experience did me any lasting damage.
Then once I'd changed into warm, dry clothes and had a cup of tea to recover, I headed back out - to the city to try to find a Halloween costume. Didn't find one, but I did find a shop that had non-costume, regular clothes on mega-sale and ended up getting two dresses and two shirts for about 30 Aussie dollars! That's even less in USD/BMD! Sweet as!
