We took Bruno for a walk and got caught in the rain, we’d just about made it past the building with no verandas to the buildings that did. Just a few more minutes and we would have made it to consistent shelter, but we fell short.

But the sky got very dark and then it turned black.

It poured down, with water instantly filling the gutters and the drains

People walked past with umbrellas and puffer jackets and coats,

I don’t know how they were so organised.

We stood and we stood and we stood waiting for the rain to stop again. Bruno lay down with his face between his paws.

At times it was so heavy that we got spray from it ricocheting at us when it hit the ground.

Eventually it lessened and we were able to make a run for the next veranda.
