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

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!

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

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.

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.

Well, when it’s windy, hats can also end up in the lost-and-found – or in the lost, anyway. 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.

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.
