apocalyptic bondi

slow start to the day but the sun was shining and it was hot, woohoo. breakfast in the garden and then a wander around the bondi markets. summer dress, new sunglasses (thanks mama wanderlust)....and then...... everyone at the markets starts looking up to the sky, murmuring... temperature goes down...sun disappears... and this incredible bank of cloud and storm creeps up on us. heavens open. rain buckets down. dark skies and the markets go from a wonderful hubbub to painful emptiness and abandon.

really crazy storm follows - thunder, lightning, the works. in the distance you can see the cloud here - there's no hill range there. just sky!

home for a while, hiding and drying off after a thorough drenching, as if it was winter at home. poor megadog shaking in the corner of the living room, terrified.

a couple of hours later we were out in the surf, making the most of our neighbourhood again.

weekends go too quickly, no matter where you are.
