It has been a very miserable day all over apparently, and I thought it was just us got rain like that 
I had to go in to town and having been getting braver as each week goes by that I have to venture into the demons cave, so off I go.
The rain has not let up for two days, I live in a place where the actual town centre is in the bottom of the valley with the streets and estates rising up the hills surrounding it, consequently when you walk down the hill into town the rivers are running down the streets and roads and pooling at every flat piece. The town centre resembles an Island in the middle of a lake and the most important focus is trying to stay out of the way of the cars that are sending waves of water to drench all unsuspecting pedestrians!!
I managed to get in to the town without having that extra shower and just being drenched from the actual torrential rain falling, except I forgot the time of year 
A very quick inspection of the town centre and I skirted it and headed to Morrisons, beleiving in my naivety that everyone would be in the centre or home and dry out of the rain, wrong!!
Doesn't anyone know that there are still three weekends to Christmas (which by the way I have now officially cancelled due to the fact that there is no way I am going to be able to do any shopping if it is like that with three weeks still to go!!) and the shops are only closed for two days ?
Really come on! There is no way you can possibly eat that amount of food in two days! And how the hell do you store it all?
OK, I think it is an illness that takes over when there is a celebration of any kind, but it is on hyper mode at Christmas, it makes you shop til you drop even though there is no way that you can eat that amount in such a short period.
When you think about it the advertisers have it cool cos the minute Christmas day arrives they stop advertising all that delicious food and start advertising holidays and bikinis, thereby generating a new shopping frenzy of slimming aids and fake tans and making people spend even more money after the frenzy of the festive season.
Consequently after my little trip all I got was soaked 
Still there is always tomorrow, oh wait the whole town is open for the next two weekends due to Christmas, whats your betting that it will be little different to today?
Suppose I could always have egg and chips *sigh*
