Rain.

Yesterday was the wettest September day in 50 years. Great. The one day that I decide to wear open toe shoes. Okay, that’s a lie – I wear open toe shoes nearly every day.

By the time I sloshed home, my hair was ratty – despite my umbrella, and my shoes were wrecked. I cant think of a better excuse for new shoes.

I had to go out to dinner with Lara at The Atlantic at Crown Casino, and decided to catch a cab. In the rain and traffic it took half an hour, whereas on the way home it took 6 minutes. I timed it.

I am wearing my Review Dress, RMK wedges, Sunnygirl cape & Oroton brolly. My hair is courtesy of Mother Nature and her ability to turn the frizz on like there is no tomorrow.

I got some happy snaps to blog at Atlantic, but after uploading them to the computer (and deleting them from the camera in the process) I was faced with The Blue Screen of DEATH.

I hope they are not gone for ever, like the rest of the damn files. We only got the laptop about 5 months back so it is still under warranty - BUT STILL.

I need a new umbrella. This Oroton one has served me well, since I bought it on April 13 2010 (I blogged about it, hence knowing the date), but I need to live life and spice things up.

My cab driver on the way home said to me “You look like my friend. She was the first female friend I ever had. I haven’t had many since. You both have round teeth. I like round teeth”.

Okay. Maybe you don’t have many female friends because you say people have round teeth? I think he meant that my teeth are curved when I smile, rather than straight across. I don't know actually.

When a car cut us off I said “What a dickhead” and he said “Oh no, don’t swear. You are too nice and innocent looking to swear!!!”.

I gave him a crash course in dealing with females. He failed by guessing I was 25, I am indeed 22. I told him – always tell a woman she looks younger.

Anyway, this cabby was super duper sweet and I loved him. I hope he finds a female companion.
