In the wet


Autumn has come to San Francisco, and with it the first serious rains since I got here.

As I’ve mentioned rain is not a usual occurrence in my limited experience here and having a day of it was a bit of a shock. After nearly twenty years in London you’d think I was used to it by now but after five months of sunny weather you kind of get used to it.

However, one has to look on the bright side. California is in the middle of a drought, so it’s to be welcomed. Plus every drop of rain that falls on the city means snow for skiing in Tahoe after Christmas. Besides, its very novelty makes the rain kind of fun.
