Plymouth Arts Weekender Day 2: Walking in the Whale's Footsteps

I knew this good weather couldn't last forever. As I speak the very heavens above are pouring from the sky and turning roads to rivers! And this all only started about 5 hours ago. 
This morning was a breezy though sunny day. Work at the library wasn't exactly ideal because, though searching for books can be irritating, cataloging them is another thing entirely and it can get tedious. The company wasn't exactly grand either but I'm not allowed to complain so I shall move on.
Met up with Mark (whose mother had supplied us with lunch) before embarking on day two of the Arts Weekender, this time with company. I provide a link of the afternoon's run down here.
Following that, I hurried home at about 4pm to get my review written up before hastily making dinner. It was around this time - so 6.20pm - that the rain began to fall and I don't think it has stopped since. I walked in it to get to the Leviathan show at The House, and I had to return through it, greatly increased in quantity as if Moby Dick himself were up there (that being the inspiration for the show). My every step felt heavy and wet, my tights and shoes were sodden from the knees down....but as I had a rain coat and umbrella, I loved it! I don't suppose the freshers would have though given today was supposed to be Freshtival haha. But I had the smell of baking to come home to as one of my housemates was making cake. I'll write up a short review of the show in the morning and post it to my above linked blog. But for now, I need to get my sleep. Got laundry and the final day of the Weekender to get through in the morning.
