the deluge

i'm so fabulously bored by the ongoing crap weather it's quite unbelievable. if i wasn't working tonight maybe i'd have been up earlier and got out for a morning ride but as it is i'm sitting psyching myself up for a trainer session while the rain (and possibly snow!!!) hammers down outside. it puts me in mind of this

a reference to which i've been looking for (in the wrong book!!) for the last two weeks. maybe the finding of it was waiting for some proper rain...
