London storm
Anyone in London awake at the moment? This is one crazy storm! There were a few flashes of lightning in the distance and then suddenly, whomp, as it went overhead. It was raining so hard I thought it was hail stones! I feel sorry for anyone who may have been out on their bike!

And I though all you southern softies had been moaning about no rain and couldn't water your lawns etc. God you are never happy.
Last time I do a rain dance for you. Right that's it, the trousers are going on and staying on. Know what you mean though about the Whomp overhead. Had one a few days back, bloody hell that was close as all the car alarms went off. Switched mine off and went back to sleep. To be woken by the bloody fire brigade siren as they turned up to pull a neighbours chimney stack out of his bedroom.

I was out in it from when it started. I got absolutely soaked, cos I didn't expect to still be riding as late as I was.
Damn me and my awful sense of direction that lands me in Hackney during rush hour. |

I almost ended up at Blackwall Tunnel, as well, but I managed to avoid that. |
