In Canada we always joke about how there's only 2 seasons....winter and construction. In Darwin our 2 season are The Wet and The Dry. Unfortunately we are now in The Wet. The build up is over (which was hot, humid, sticky, gross, uncomfortable and down right terrible some days), and now you wake up to check the weather report and it will pretty much say the same thing every day......scattered thunderstorms with a chance of sunshine. I can tell you the weather people are normally not that far off.
I have been fortunate enough to be inside during some of the torrential monsoon like thunderstorms we received (although last Friday I did have to make a mad dash to the bus, which I almost missed, while trying to keep my bus pass and blackberry dry and losing my flip flops along the way.......it was futile. I got soaked). I have learned that some times, it's just easier to kick off your shoes and wander around in bare feet.....until you step on glass, then it's time to pull out the running shoes.
Not a lot of people here wear rain boots (rain is too strong some days......they would just fill with water) but an umbrella is certainly a permanent fixture in every one's wardrobe this time of year.
Anyway, here's how Scott deals with the rain on his days off.
Even the rain won't chase him inside.....but he needs to keep the computer dry.
