Very short post

I need to finish writing, and thawing, but I wanted to take this opportunity to offer a brief product endorsement. I own one of these umbrellas (which I also use as a parasol):
Although I often buy things because they are practical, I bought this because it is very pretty. Tonight, I used it walking home through storming rain and winds of 50-120km/h (30-75mph). I had it up most of the way, even in the bit up on the open hill ridge as I walked past the university. As umbrellas failed all around me, and other walkers gave up, folded theirs and just accepted the soaking, my delicate frilly thing held up like a champ. Well done, Boston brollies!

Oooo! Thank you for sharing! I've fallen in love with dark brocade patterns after seeing Grimmaild Place in the movies, and 221B on Sherlock. I would really go for a couple of those underbrellas.

I've had several of their models and they are really quite good -- though today's effort was above and beyond the specs!
