Enjoy the day Nicky

[Nicky91]

yes gonna be fun to watch, especially now

bc of rainy weather they said people should bring raincoats not umbrella's, cause umbrella's block the sight for other people :fan:


and any older people in the bit cold rainy weather outside, gotta be careful and should not stay outside for a long time :omgno:


so officials have given out good instructions for safety for the current weather circumstances
