of course it's going to rain
On one hand, it's good it's going to rain: K was planning to ride the scooter to the train station.
He's achy today, but he slept pretty well and his scrapes look good.
He won't ride in rain (never did if he could help it) and he doesn't ride if the pavement is wet.
On the other hand: I loaned K's mom my teeny umbrella when she went to Amsterdam last month and it hasn't stopped raining since.
And today I'm going into town to meet a blogger for coffee.
This poses shoe issues as well as umbrella issues. More shoe issues, actually, as I don't like to carry umbrellas, but I have a lot of walking to do.
I'm walking to the station - and then walking around town - and meeting her at Starbucks.
And WHO, you wonder, am I meeting?
Ms. Kilowatthour!
K and I and even Oldest (who was shaken) appreciate all your kind wishes. We are all on the mend - and Oldest took his friend (who had seen the accident and was on the bus and tried to get off!) out for a beer.
I don't know how Hugh Laurie does it. Walking with a cane is HARD.
...more later.

and yes, buy another umbrella. splurge and buy a couple. (I buy mine at thrift shops whenever I see them, because the boys in my life seem intent on leaving umbrellas all over this fair city...)
Poor poor K. Give him my very best for a speedy recovery of both shattered nerves and ripped skin.
And I am so jealous that someone (else) gets to have coffee with you. And I don't even like coffee.
If you have a sore/crippled left leg, you have the cane in your right hand.
Like so.
And head pats to K and Oldest as well.
It has been raining here for three days and I am a little tired of it.
I am wearing my ugly shoes.
grrrr.
Tuvalu is definitely a land of excitement.
So, while I have to say I am so sorry to hear about K's fall and Oldest scare, you know already that I did not flip.
And why? You would ask...
Because it's like EVERYDAY story around here where we live on our scooters!
So, dear K, I'm there with you, know it all and understand exactly how you're feeling today!
Hang in there...
Hugs to you all
PS Gorgeous hands.
I am so very jealous. Please say my name just once so that i can feel like i'm there too.
My two favourite stateside bloggers in one starbucks.
I'm glad I read these posts now, because had I read the first way back, and waited until now for this one, I would have been beside myself with worry.
This may sound strange coming from a loon like me, but anything with two wheels scares me into (metaphorically speaking) incontinence.

Hope you splurge on a new umbrella... and buy your MIL her own for Mother's Day. (I always try to buy people presents based on what they borrow the most from me.)
