Boom

Awesome storm this evening. It hit, of course, right at 5 when everyone was heading for their cars so there was a lot of amusing scurrying and shrieks of 'Ack I don't want to get my hair wet even though I'm only going home.'

Me, I just sauntered to my car enjoying the cold drops on my face. I love walking in the rain. Yes, it's a tired cliche, but it feels marvelous. So I drove home in the downpour (mental note - have GOT to replace windscreen wipers. The screech from them was driving me round the bend.) and then I took a little walk down to check the mail. By the time I got to my door, the utilities bill and myself were quite soaked. Ahhhh Felt lovely.

So then it was off to my room, kick on the XM and enjoy the constant rolling thunder and flashes of lightning. I must say, 'Dancing Barefoot' by Echo & the Bunnymen was a cool tune to have on during that.

If the rain kicks up again later, I might go for another walk.

Of course, I'll remember my keys this time :)
