graham at home

This is another one of those weather posts but it does emphasize the lack of any notable news here in Geneva. It has been rather wet these past two weeks and every time I leave home to go to work - or leave work to go home I have to see if it is raining enough to get out my umbrella.

Paradoxically I’m a Great Britain (slight pun intended) and always pack my umbrella but use it as little as possible. My jacket has a hood and I prefer using that to using an umbrella that i have to keep on my knees and avoid getting anything else wet during public transport.

Here is a tip I learnt from my Dad. Always carry a plastic bag with you and put the wet umbrella into it during transport. When you get home, or at work, dry the umbrella conventionally and turn the plastic bag inside out to dry for the next run.
