It is midday; I am in a suburban street in torrential rain, desperately looking through a rucksack for a door key. I am wearing wellies, an anorak, a pair of shades - despite the grey sky - and a cowboy hat. I am covered in mud so thick that even the heavy downpour cannot wash it out of my belongings.
