Today: Storm Babet brought a day of endless rain. I cycled to work through rivers of water flowing down Mousehold heath.

It didn’t stop raining. Letters turned to mush, the van fogged up and despite two rain coats, waterproof trousers and waterproof socks, I was wet through by the end of the delivery.

At some point in the middle of the day, as we were delivering to Mount Pleasant it became particularly heavy rain and I discovered that my pockets had puddles in the bottom of them. Both pens and my keys were floating.

Luckily, days as wet as that are relatively rare.
