Soaked, Illustration Friday

Guilty of being thirsty! I've never taken sand to the beach, or coals to Newcastle, but I've been soaked for buying bottled water, even when there's a tap! But in my defense, I do recycle those bottles...
And on a serious note-
It was difficult to play along with this week's challenge, when citizens in parts of our country are dealing with the devastation of severe weather and flooding. My heart goes out to all who've been affected.

  7. A really clever one here Michele. I do drink from the tap as our water is really tasty but I confess not so when on holiday...I also get soaked (and overcharged) for bottled water. I put my empties in the recyling though..honest!I love the "rollup rollup" attitude of the lead fish!
    Have a great weekend, stay dry.

  14. Heisann!

    I have been to London and my father is not well, so I have had just a little, tiny time for blogging, and of course, lack of time has consequence for the activity visiting my friends' blogs.
    I have watch the tornadoes on TV, and I am shocked seeing the huge damaged left.
    Your illustration is wonderful to 'read' as usual ;:OD)

  17. Certain parts of a cruiser will rust if left out in wet conditions, especially the chain, and if the chain rusts you cruiser will not ride as smooth as it should.
