Rain again...

Today started brightly for a very brief period before the rain clouds gathered and the heavens opened again and again  until the evening.  I might have been more bothered if I hadn't had so much (paid)work to do which  didn't seem so much of a chore when there was no temptation to go outside.
Mr MC, on the other hand, had planned to play golf and sadly that was clearly a no go.
I tried several times to pop out into the garden to find a blip and captured this fuchsia during a brief, dry interlude.  I took a number shots of various dripping plants but this appealed because of the stripy image captured in the droplets - it's the slats of our garden bench reflected in each drop!
