For our last week in Sydney, there were on and off rain showers. Fortunately we were able to dodge between the showers and continue with our outside activities. However, the rain did remind me of how awkward it is to balance both my white cane and an umbrella.
If the truth be told, I rarely use an umbrella. It is just too tricky to be holding my cane pointed down in the one hand and an umbrella pointed up in the other. Somehow or other the up and down of it throws me off balance. If I do need to be out in the rain, I tend to wear a raincoat. Even this isn’t very satisfactory. When I hold out my cane, by hand usually gets wet and consequently, cold. As I move my cane about, sometimes the rain water trickles up the edges of my sleeve. All in all, walking outside in the snow is preferable to being outside in the rain. Then again, being outside in the sunshine is better yet.
There is a picture with this post. I am sitting beside the fountain in the plaza at Summer Hill drinking my morning coffee. Morning coffee outdoors is one of my favourite things to do when we are away.
