After a bit of a depressing start to the day, and with tonight’s chili simmering happily on the stovetop, I glanced out of the window, spotted that the rain had stopped and was reminded of the Latin I never learned at school:
Carpe confractus in tempestate
which, as any fule kno, translates as “seize the break in the weather”.
I quickly grabbed a mask and a beagle and headed out into the… wait… sunshine?
Yep. And 4.5 dry and happy kilometres later, we got home, exercised, fresh-aired and much happier.
I’d fully endorse a quick trip out not in the rain.
