Fair weathered,fair minded but easily persuaded.
The real concern for me is the drop in temperature that appears to be arriving.
Less than 20c
best dig the thermals out.

No sleeping bags in case you want to stay overnight?
Cycle! You know you want to. Besides it'll be one of your eight this year.It's peed it down here for the last couple of hours. It's looking a little brighter now but very very wet out there. Not sure now whether to cycle or continue with the van option

Well, it sort of stopped but looked like it wouldn't stay like that for long, so I made a dash for it to drop off the coat, dashing back in to pick up a jacket because of the temperature drop. I got halfway back again before it started raining again in earnest and warmed up, so I stopped and put the cape on.It's now being a bit more serious and if it doesn't stop, I'll don the cape and go out again to take a coat to someone who forgot to pick up theirs.
Time very well spent - a nobber in a tipper went through a large puddle he could have avoided and sluiced water up and over me... part of a trouser leg got wet and the basket filled with water, but I was still dry, so he got a V sign
but if I'd had the camera on, I'd have offered his regno to the feds for anti-social driving.

One of 8? I've done more than that!!
Cycled home, got drenched. Only 13 degrees
Now drinking beer.

I have often thought about having a sleeping bag and pillow in my office

Nope. I normally have sunshine. Today was a major exception.

1 down, 7 to go for the year. We only get wet 8 times a year if you believe them.

I avoid rain where possible. Wind on the other hand is my nemesis.

I have prepared myself for the Hell that is Gatwick....and bought a pair of cheap walking boots from Sports Direct.

I put the mudguards on in anticipation of the forecast rain on the return commute. What awaste of time that was.

I'm glad his amazing dancing bear wasn't involved in all that.
It's too wet today but i may go out tomorrow if I can borrow a coat to wear

[QUOTE 4859510, member: 259"]Surely the walk to the gate can't be that long.[/QUOTE]
You've not been to Gatwick recently then? Best way would be
but you have to check those in.
