I don't think anyone is terrified of rain.
But it's annoying being in soaking wet clothes. Maybe we're all a bit soft now in that regard.
your in for a shock if you don't realise the air is full of dirt, dust and bacteria etc
if your wearing weather appropriate clothing then it should if anything make a marathon easier than in the blasting sun
Nothings clean unless you live in a sterile room wearing a sterile suit

Is nothing safe of a straw man on this forum, even pointing out that rainwater isn't clean?
it can't be that bad if people use run off rain water for fish tanks, although they filter it first.Is nothing safe of a straw man on this forum, even pointing out that rainwater isn't clean?
Everyone probably caught some rainwater in their life with their mouth, or ate snow surely?

The main thing is that rainwater will make your hair dirty and uncomfortable, which is the only reason I avoid being outside in it to be honest, as a long hair haver.
If I had short fuzz I'd just press on and then give my head a quick flannelling when I go indoors.

Was just about to do the washing up at 10pm, my final task of the evening, and partner asked me to connect the printer for an art project.
The printer ended up eating an acetate transparency backing sheet and getting jammed. I did not need to spend 45 minutes stressing over a printer service manual
Thankfully sorted it without a full disassembly and washed up. Just finished my bedtime cuppa, knackered now.

Got to England to discover our bags were still in Germany. Great.

What is it about printers that make them the most infuriatingly unreliable pieces of technology around.

They are the devil's work. The single worst product for planned obsolescence with hidden kill switches, manufacturers selling the printer cheaper than a pack of ink, blocking third party cartridges... I genuinely hate the entire home printer industry.
I won't have inkjet printers in the house. This is a 19 year old HP LaserJet and it's been rock solid until we fed it a transparency TBF. But then it is the most simple device, no buttons, 2 LEDs, and 2 ports for power and USB.
I've been having right fun with ChatGPT. It's been a techy night where it talked me through installing the Windows Subsystem for Linux v2. My C drive is running out of space so it's almost time for a reinstall but I might go with Linux Mint instead of Windows 11!

Bleugh, I drank too much beer last night 
Haven't had a hangover in a long time. This is probably an 8/10

1. Buy bacon and brown sauce (you should have both in the fridge already but just in case ...)
2. Turn oven to Grilll setting and get it scorchio, like a 9 out of 10.
3. Drink a restorative beer.
4. Prepare bread for the incoming bacon.
5. Debate if butter is good or not as an addition.
6. Put crispy bacon on bread with sauce (and butter if you're a wrong 'un)
7. Google 'Karlie Kloss' (keep it work safe, no naughty business)
8. Eat bacon butty.
9. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
10. Do it all again tomorrow.

I KNOW THE ROUTINE. Haven't been able to stomach anything much yet. Half a glass of water, half an electrolyte glass, half a cuppa. 2 mouthfuls of cereal and a couple of nuts.
The cure for a hangover needs all of:
Fluids
Caffeine
Salt
Grease
Sugar
(The secret ingredient I hate to admit is exercise. If you can work a sweat up you will feel better. Good luck.)
