Oh no...

...it's raining again!  An umbrella crossing the English Bridge in Shrewsbury.

Thoughts of an optimistic pessimist:
Meeting up tomorrow with the Dog Biscuiter at Cannock Chase and, for a change, we'll be taking our bikes instead of the dogs. The Chase is great for cycling so we'll have a very enjoyable day.  (Hoping for the best.)
It's bound to be raining so we'll get soaked, covered in mud, fall off a few times and get loads of punctures!  (Expecting the worst.)

Homer J Simpson's words of wisdom:  
English? Who needs that? I'm never going to England!
