Close but no thunder


According to the weather forecast, there would be a thunderstorm yesterday. I wasn't sure at what time it would be hitting which part of our little country. I was just hoping it wouldn't hit in the afternoon, since I had to travel by bus from 12:45 pm till 14:15 pm, and by train from 14:30 pm till 15:30 pm. I don't like a thunderstorm too much while travelling, I'm too afraid something might happen or that busses and trains might even not leave for their destination, and that I would be stranded somewhere. - Maybe I worry too much :-D

Weather was superb however. Very sunny, maybe even a little too "sweat-creating" for my tastes. I like warm weather, but not hot weather, which we mostly get over here when it's sunny.
Off course with this hot weather, thunderstorms are a lot more likely than with just nice warm weather. But I arrived at my destination safely and sweaty :-)

Come yesterday evening it was still nice weather, albeit somewhat less sunny. Which was nice, since we don't have shades in our apartment anymore. So usually when I get home, the sun is shining happily in our living room, making it near impossible to be there, since it gets boiling hot behind our single paned window. Also I like to watch some telly around that time, since there are mostly some nice TV series or cooking programmes on, and I'm dog tired from travelling and attending class and I just wanna sit on the couch and unwind. Unfortunately, if I could ignore the heat, I certainly could not ignore the sunshine, bathing our television screen in white yellow light. I'm still able to HEAR what they're saying however LOL.

But yesterday it was actually possible to see something as well, so I watched some TV series round dinner time, and a nice movie(Mystic Pizza) in the evening.
Did feel a little lonely however, since my roomie wasn't home and I mostly just miss my parents when I'm gone during the week. I'm such a momma's girl, I know...

Stayed up WAY too late again. Need to work on that.
As I was getting getting ready for bed though, I saw some lighting. I got excited, the thunderstorm was finally happening! Cause contrary to my feelings about a thunderstorm during the day, I love a thunderstorm at night! I like to listen to the sound of the rain and thunder while lying in bed. I find it to be relaxing and soothing.
So I actually went to bed a little earlier than usual, waiting for the thunderstorm to happen. BUT nothing happened... Bummer.
It did rain though, albeit a little later, when I was aready asleep. Hmm, close but no cigar, or I should say thunder in this case?

As for today, the weather is looking less promising of sunshine than yesterday.
I have no class on Tuesdays, and so my Tuesdays are mostly spent wandering around the apartment, "working" on the computer and watching telly again. VERY productive.
I might be going to the shopping centre later today, to visit the local charity shop and some other shops. Merely to look, not to buy, hehe.
But first I'm off for a bite to eat and a rerun of Murder, she wrote.

G'day!

Are you kidding? You must have slept through the whole thing ;)

At around 3:30 AM we watched some serious fireworks! I've never seen so many flashes in a thunderstorm EVER.. it was like someone had put a stroboscope out there for all to see

Only thing we missed was popcorn, but WHAT a show.. hehe
