This morning, as I opened my front door all ready to take my son to preschool, I was greeted with rain. Not just drizzling rain, but proper raining cats and dogs rain. I went back into the room to get my son’s raincoat and my 5-year-old raincoat and thought, “Bugger it. There’s no way I’m going to ride my bicycle holding an umbrella.” I arrived at the preschool a little later than usual only to discover that the waterproof coating on our coats had worn off. Oh, great!
The rainy season is my least favorite time in Japan. Although it doesn’t rain every day, it is a hassle when you need to commute by bicycle. Hopefully, after I invest in new raincoats and an umbrella holder for my bicycle, my attitude about getting around in the rain will change. I’ve never made a teru teru bozu talisman to bring fine weather, but I just might this year.
