The rain came back overnight and all four jackets have been formally returned to active duty

Woke up at 4 to the sound of it on the window and felt the whole city exhale. The air smells like cedar and wet pavement again. The moss on my fence looks relieved. So am I, frankly. Jacket rotation for the season: the light shell for drizzle, the medium one for showers, the long one for sideways, and the heavy one I refuse to discuss until November. Still no umbrella. Umbrellas are for visitors and people who've given up.

Four jackets is amateur hour where I'm from. In Manchester you had one coat and simply stayed damp from October to May. You lot have turned rain into a wardrobe.

A wardrobe and a personality. We've had a lot of indoor time to think about it.
