I don't mind going out in the rain and walking around with a hat on. I don't do umbrellas well.

I dislike umbrellas as well. I am fully kitted out for rain: fully waterproof anorak, pants, and boots.

Since I don’t wear hats, I definitely need some sort of umbrella. This has been the case since I got my first glasses back in about 1990/91. I just can’t stand drops of water on my glasses!

:whistle: "Rain drops keep falling on my head ..... " I would rather get soaking wet than carry an umbrella.

Erm ... E~S, a hint: the trick is to not just carry the umbrella, it is to open it and hold it over your head. :lol:

..... but that only leaves you with one free hand. Try that when walking a dog on a leash.

Well, at least in Germany, opening automatic umbrellas are to be had in a wide variety. I once even had a compact duomatic, which was quite useful when entering a bus – though entering last was also advisable with this thingy, otherwise people behind you would get sprayed a bit when it closed with a snap. :rain: :hide:

I think I've pretty much lost every umbrella I've ever owned.

I forgot my umbrella in the car yesterday, but remembered to take it back to our apartment today after getting the winter tires. I haven’t lost one in ages.

My post seems to have acted as a subliminal hint. :lol:

We certainly do. We get so much heavy wind with rain, we would spend a small fortune replacing umbrellas over the rainy season (which lasts about 8 months).

Well, when it’s windy, hats can also end up in the lost-and-found – or in the lost, anyway. :goofy: :-P :lost:
For rain with wind, I very much prefer parkas with hoods.

I have to have kidney and parsnips in my beef stew, or it just doesn't taste right. It's the way my mom always made it. :-D

When I see and buy (or am given as a present) a really fat book whose title sounds interesting to me, and that suspicion is confirmed, I can get focused on reading to a degree that “real life” becomes an irrelevant blur on the periphery.

On a good day, with few interruptions from the four-legged inhabitants in the house, I can read three books in about 15 hours.
