The rain bides its time

slowfoxSo, just after 5pm yesterday evening, I noticed that the skies were darkening overhead.
And pondered.
I suspected that, no matter what time I decided to head off home - early, late, on the dot of half-five, the rain would hang on until that same instant before starting to fall.
At 5.20, then, I decided to sneak home 10 minutes early.
Glancing out of the window at the top of the stairs, the world was dry, if overcast.
By the time I get to the inner courtyard where the bike gets locked up, spots of rain were falling. And by the time I was rolling, it was raining properly.
No surprise there, then.
