Mr Woof and I had a lovely walk in the rain this afternoon. Can anyone point me in the direction of the Pina Coladas?

I also took advantage of the fact that I was already a bit damp to do some gardening. A few seedlings of lettuce, celery, dill and chives have been planted. I got to wear my favourite wet weather gardening hat. The Vietnamese really knew what they were doing with their hat design - light, allows good airflow and great at keeping off both rain and sun. Their only real downfall is wind. If you want windproof the design from Cabanaconde in Peru is pretty awesome, with a brim folded down at the front and up at the back in a way that stops the wind picking it up off your head easily, but it is a felt hat (like our Akubras) so not much good in rain and a bit hot in warm weather.
