sunny umbrellas

J had complained that the weather in Liverpool is miserable:

"All the fun things I want to do involve it being sunny and nice outside, and its not, its miserable all the time here in England. Can you think of anything you'd like to do if it were rainy and cold. Maybe some inventive ideas..."

Serbia responded with what has become their trademark boot-strap approach: "if it's raining you can do pretty much the same things when it is not raining but with umbrella. You can also make big sun... painting it in yellow..."

So, Tenantspin helped us collect umbrellas to paint sunshine onto, and, amazingly enough, it did not rain the entire time we were in Liverpool, so the action part of that action will be done in our absence, once the promised rain finally falls.
