a little fall of rain

I was waiting for the bus, on my way home.

When I walked out of the train station I saw some people taking out their umbrellas, and I thought 'what the...it's just one or two drops'. Then I was waiting at the bus stop, and between then and when the bus arrived (5-6 minutes), the drops became pouring rain. I was literally drenched, from head to toe.

You'd think, after 7 years in London and 2 years in Manchester, I'd have an umbrella in my bag...

As soon as I got onto the bus, I phoned my brother and asked him to pick me up from the stop and bring me an umbrella. When I got home (5 minutes later), the rain had stopped.
