Went for my regular constitutional walk at lunchtime today, boy was it windy, I had to firmly grasp my umbrella with both hands and physically wrestle with it as the wind constantly shifted direction, sometimes trying to rip it out of my hands and the next moment trying to push it into my face. I got about half way around my normal route and the bloody thing snapped, a catastrophic failure in engineering speak. To be honest though I wasn't too upset, other than sitting at my desk right now with damp trousers, the umbrella was a freebie "hotel" one that I found one evening on a commuter train. I'm actually more surprised it lasted the years that it did.
