Rain rain go away!

Whilst I don't really mind the wet stuff, when you have got things that need to be done outdoors it can pose some problems.  Especially when you use sensitive equipment that doesn't like getting soaked.  I do try to get the best water-resistant equipment when I make any purchase, as with my DSLR, a Nikon D300.  At the time it was the only one in that price range that offered even the slightest bit of protection from the elephants.  Yes I wrote that in to try to lighten an otherwise drab account of a rainy day!

 

So what can I do instead.  Research, yes there is always plenty of that to do when you have another documentary to write.  Some of the information is already in place, but getting the motivation isn't always as easy as it sounds.

In my previous working life, especially working outside which I spent a good many doing, I was often put off by our Weather system.  To anyone who doesn't live in the UK, you may have heard all the English talk about is how bad the weather is.  Just of late though, that place has been taken over by how many of us hate politicians and a total lack of leadership for the people.  Saying nothing about the Marie Antoinette system they have forced onto us, 'there is no bread let them eat cake'.  Did she say it, or didn't she, maybe it was invented for just these times!

Anyway enough of that, just playing my part of a whinging pom!

Rain, rain go away.  The plants need it I guess, but then do I need frequent showers?  Em, the answer to that could be yes, where does our water come from out of the taps.  All our water comes down in rain, gets processed then sent out to us through the maze of underground pipework to your home.

Anyway enough wittering.  As always days like this give that much needed time to catch up on paperwork and the things we all like doing so much.  Here I am again, about to set out on another moan!  No I don't hate paperwork that much, but then given the choice where would I rather be.  Sitting here typing this or in a nice warm sunny woodland with the wildlife chattering all around me.  No competition.

So you may ask why am I writing this when I am supposed to be cooking, em doing my books.  You may well ask and the simple answer to that would be my literacy seems to work like a pressure valve.  Things or pressure build up behind it, then and only then am I able to write with gusto and interest for anyone finding this drivel.  If I don't have that pressure and write something, even if its something I am interested in, it always comes out wrong.  It looks wrong to me, and to everyone else, know what I mean?

So in the hope these tappings will encourage further and brighter thoughts into my head, I tap on getting no further with all the important stuff I am supposed to do.  So on that note, I will take all the future advice I will get from my fans, both here and Youtube and get on with it.

Cheers, I hope the sun is shining where you are.
