Worst commute for a while today - not in a horrifyingly scary sort of a way but a "My word, is everyone particularly stupid/unobservant/careless today?" sort of a way.
I'm not sure why it is, but the absolute sh*****g down rain seems to bring out the worst in the drivers on my home stretch - close overtakes, rushing to beat you through pinch points, not allowing you out past parked cars... You would think that the poor conditions would engender a bit more care in driving, but it invariably seems to do the opposite, with few of the poor dears (apparently) able to see beyond the ends of their bonnets, and caring little about what sits outside their cosy vehicles, so long as they can rush hell for leather to the next queue of traffic.
Oh, and my feet got REALLY wet. I hate that.
Ah well, a small dry sherry or two once home, and tomorrow is another day...
