You know, I get really annoyed with the cheap umbrellas you find everywhere these days - you use them twice and the break apart on you. I find this extremely shocking. Admittedly they're cheap so why bother, let's buy another one. That's what my daughter tells me but it makes me furious. I don't want the world and rubbish bins to fill up with cheap stuff that breaks. I want proper things that work for a long time for which we pay a proper price!
A common sight here. The wind chews them up. We prefer big sturdy hoods. I'm caught betewwen whoelheartedly echoing Nathalie and chcukling at the wonderful photo op. Excellent observational shot.
Take THAT, Umbrella!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, disgusting indeed.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you come over to Avignon for a bit of sunshine? We had two drops of rain this morning and apart from that nothing in ages!
I was really taken aback by your photo of 3rd of October - just loved that indoor shot!
That's too funny! Sooo, you've had a lot of rain??
ReplyDeleteToo funny.
ReplyDeletemmm, I spoke too fast.
ReplyDeleteThe rain hit last night, and it hit hard. Downpour. And it's not over. Stay right where you are. Don't come over!!!

ReplyDeleteOK, that what my ranting of the day.
Cheers!
Here in OZ we have had such a long drought we are not allowed to complain about rain.
ReplyDeleteI found the photo amusing.
