Death of an Umbrella....

Doesn't this look like a bat caught in a stick.. :) that's the last few minutes of my umbrella, before another gust of wind blew the wind out of it.. hmm i don't know why they manufacture such bad umbrellas... not that it was costly... but being sold in London, i'd expect it to withstand atleast winds as fast as it was today, which is pretty common out here.. More often than not, i find umbrellas becoming rain water harvesting basket. Imagine the umbrella getting flared out on the other side, facing the sky. Perfect for collecting water.. :)
coming back to the fate of my umbrella, it became too wet with the steel rods poking out in all directions and became really impossible to handle. So i had to give it a farewell in the bus itself... Good bye darling... :)
