‘Tis the start of a new week. The rain is pouring and i’m smiling. It’s a long day today because its cash and carry night. This is the one time I don’t like rain pour as it makes for a slip hazard! We’ve all been there…waling too fast in the rain you slip and then you try and style it out like nothing happened. That, or your mother laughs and points at you #motherlylove
