......Listen to the rhythm of.....

the falling rain.....and the thunder and lightning.

7.00 a.m. nice blue sky........7.20 a.m. torrential rain!
The workforce called to explain that they would be late today because of the weather.

I went off to hospital for my blood tests........number 28 in the queue! Fortunately Vanessa, a work mate, was also in the queue so we could chat for a while.

Back home, the workforce turned up, and began, frequent interruptions for heavy showers.

Took Dad and the daughter out to lunch.....halfway through, a tap on the shoulder....Vanessa again! I'm wondering if I've acquired a stalker?

This afternoon the work was going apace....when out of a clear blue sky black, and I mean really black, clouds appeared and thunder rolled....lightning flashed....humungous storm. Dad sat in the conservatory fascinated at the experience of being "outside" but also inside and dry.

An hour later not a cloud in the sky and blazing sunshine. Picked up the S&H and Charlotte......they had dinner with us and spent an hour with Great-grandad and then it was Charlie's bedtime.

As I drove them home into the setting Sun the rear view mirror held an ominous image....more black clouds. Sure enough, after I dropped them off and turned for home I drove right into another storm!

Spent the rest of the evening watching the Opening Ceremony of the Paralympic Games.

Tomorrow it's Dad to the station.....and then whatever plans the Boss has....there's no rest for the wicked....even when they're ill.....I must have been a real bad bugger in a previous life.
