Rainy Day Rec 1 & 2 …………

Yes …. for those who are familiar with the music of Bob Dylan it’s a poor attempt at a play on his song Rainy Day Women #12 & 35.

It’s not a favourite of mine but fits the day given that the “official” explanation of how the song got its name was because a woman and her daughter came into the recording studio out of the rain.

A week after the blistering heat wave, the rain just kept coming down like stair rods creating those puddles and deterring all but the very hardy from spending time in the Rec.

Not that this is an attempt to belittle the week we have had or suggest that those high temperatures and the implications for the future can be side lined by two days of rain.

After all it wasn’t that much here in Chorlton, and I doubt will do much to replenish the reservoirs.

But it did make for those puddles which in turn offered up some reflections.
