I had to laugh when literally 2 minutes after I pressed 'publish post', there was a flash, an almightly clap of thunder and the rain came down in a torrent. It's been torrential all day. The house was actually shaking when the thunder rolled and the lights were flickering.
British as I am, I swear I have never heard anyone look out at rain that is bouncing back at least 6 inches off the ground and say "now look at that, isn't that just beautiful" with not even a tiny hint of sarcasm, despite the fact that they are about to step out into it. I had to smile. And then stepped out in it. Without my umbrella. D'oh.
