Long Hard Drive

It pissed it down from the moment I got in the car in Newbury until the moment I arrived in Aberystwyth. At times the rain was pelting down so hard that I couldn't see the car in front of me, I could just make out the blurry haze of their lights. At various times the car aquaplaned slightly. There were patches of fog (which led to the revelation that my fog-light(s) don't work) and vast puddles everywhere. Although the roads weren't very busy, the few people who were on the road seemed to constantly be in a hurry and so would tailgate for miles with their lights dazzling me.

Talking of being dazzled by lights, there was an unusually high number of people who drove past without dipping their headlights. No idea why.

There were also lots of frogs in the roads, they must have been loving the rain. Lovin' it, lovin' it, lovin' it. Right up until being spread over a few hundred yards of road by a lorry.
