WOW!! Doesn’t a good storm change people’s moods… the threat of hail, thunder & lightning.. people running everywhere, on edge, waiting…

I love storms, if I had the time I reckon I would devote some of it to chasing storms. I started walking to & from work this week, reasons: fitness, pay cuts, fuel costs, etc etc, but I actually feel better for it. It’s roughly a 20 min walk, get’s me a bit sweaty in the morning, bit it’s downhill going home so it’s a bit of a wind down before I hit home & put my mother/wife hat on!

But back to the storms… y’day we had a little teaser, people going crazy to get cars under cover (work in a Car Dealership) the lightning & thunder is happening (apparently a couple of lightning strikes were very close indeed!) OF ALL THE DAYS I DIDN’T HAVE MY CAMERA! (but I do today!) but there I was about an hour after the main storm, the rain was really light & drizzly & it was really quite exhilarating, with my head held high (dark clouds still looming), barefoot, rain drizzling on my face (I think I was actually having fun) walking home.

As I got home the front door opened, greeted by my 10 yo son, “How wet did you get mom?” “How wet do I look?” I said, “Wet.” was the reply.

Gotta love kids & their view on the world around them, but that’s another story.
