Glorious, glorious, rain

The delightful rain picked up today, it came pouring down like a flood from the heavens, drowning every dry nook and cranny. I was out among the shops...picking up a few sale items that would have been left all on their own if I hadn't picked them up and gave them a good home...when I bounced out into the downfall. Normally, I guess you would think Oh no and for a few minutes I did...but then I found refuge under a shelter and smiled at how refreshing the outdoors was. The high street was thinning out, people were running, and it was quite entertaining to watch how almost a stampede collected in the centre. I just stood and watched the world go by, wondering why people were out in the town, where they were heading next and whether they too found the most amazing sale in Republic.
