My day in the rain...

I am the only person in the world it seems who doesn't care about the Olympic Torch. Despite this I rashly promised to help school look after 450 kids while they walked through the lashing rain to get a view of the torch going past. AN HOUR later ( thats an hours worth of lashing rain later )the torch came into view on the horizon. There was a quick cheer and waving of flags, a brief glimmer of something shiny....and then it was over !!...and we all squelched back to class ! Great...
