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!

Oops, my comment didn't show so I retyped it... then of course, there it was!

And now it's gone again.... I think I should just go to bed.

Anyway, it's an absolutely lovely umbrella. Miss you!
