Today is cold and rainy here in Ottawa. After an unseasonably warm March, winter has decided to flirt with us once again in April. Yesterday we had a couple of centimeters of snow on the ground. I am unprepared for the wet weather because I seem to have run out of umbrellas. I had a couple of London Fog umbrellas that were of reasonable quality, but eventually even they fell victim to a few stiff breezes.
This brings me to the main point of my post today: why are good umbrellas so hard to find? Most fold up like a house of cards in anything stronger than the mildest wind, because, really, rain often comes with heavier than usual winds. I know solid wind resistant umbrellas exist, but I can't seem to find them anywhere here in Canada's capital.
Okay, so this post shows you how desperate I am for topics this week....
I hate searching for umbrellas. They bend. They snap. They flip inside out. It's annoying. And it rains so infrequently here that I just can't justify $50 for a really good one.
