Boom, etc.
The outside world was strangely warm when I left the office. Far more so at half-five than it was at lunchtime. Nothing to complain about, but it's a bit odd when that happens. We wandered around the shops for a bit, glad not to have to wear a coat, then went for something to eat. As the train pulled away from Glasow Central, the sun was just going down. It felt nice. There's something about a hot city at twilight that I like. As we got close to home, however, the sky darkened quickly and we saw the first flashes of lightning in the distance.
Naturally, the heavens opened just as we got off the train, so we had to make a run for it. The flashes got more and more frequent, and soon we were in the middle of the biggest thunderstorm I can remember witnessing above British soil. R, rightly, made me run round unplugging everything. Then I would plug it all back in again as the storm seemed to be dying down, then re-unplug it as it built up once more. I knew that attempting to take a still photo of the lightning was pretty futile, but I had a go with the video function of my camera and managed to capture the bolt you see here.
I like thunderstorms, me.
