In the wee small hours....

Yesterday was a muggy, sultry day with temperatures reaching 24 degrees. Even at 9pm, the air was still thick and humid and around 20 degrees. Then the thunder started.....

For the next four hours the thunder rumbled on, the rain came down and the sky was lit up by bright flashes of lightning. We were only on the edge of the storm but still it felt rather menacing, and kept me up into the wee small hours of Friday morning. Luckily there was some equally dramatic tv viewing to keep me company on my night vigil!


(No dramatic forks of lightning, though you can see a tiny bolt of lighting in the distance if you go large, but it was very eerie the way the sky was lit up, as if by a giant spotlight, creating night time silhouettes.)
