O.o that doesn't look like it's going to keep the rain off you. Maybe it's a North America thing but this is an umbrella keeps the water off you, while the parasol helps to keep the sun off you.. I have another 30 parasols and don't leave home without one.

It is designed to protect a person against rain or sunlight. The word "umbrella" typically refers to a device used for protection from rain. The word parasol usually refers to an item designed to protect from the sun. Often the difference is the material used for the canopy; some parasols are not waterproof.

 

 

Parasol ..... Umbrella ..... Umbrella..... Parasol

Oooooooh! It's because the word "unbrella" in English is not use properly (from the French/latin word ombrelle that is use to protect from the sun/ Ombre or Ombra means "shadow")

And because of that I have kind of jumbled up the words &  I have not used the right word because I had no idea "parasol" was the name in English :smile:

 

So you are right my ombrelle is a parasol! :D

 

A "parasol" in French is that :D (same word not the same thing)

@Stromboli1 Just some beginner stuff, I already have a stationary bike at home and plan on starting yoga once I get the mats and have some 40 pound adjustable dumbbells anything else you think I could pick up on the cheap? Just general work out stuff so I don't have to go out and pay for the gym

^Maybe a jump rope & slam ball.

 

I own a 13.5 kg/30 lb slam ball.
