Thunder

It never really got light this morning. At 10.30 we were having a cuppa in the staffroom, when there was the most extraordinarily loud crash of thunder that literally shook the building and made the windows rattle, as lightening hit the ring road just outside the building. We all jumped and swore a great deal, but luckily no tea was spilt. But it remained gloomy for the rest of the morning and the afternoon wasn't much better. Its raining again now you know.

This evening we began our holiday preparations with a big house clean. We're a bit lazy when it comes to doing the cleaning and we ought to do it a bit more often than we actually do. Still, it looks nice and clean all over now, even if the living room still isn't exactly what you could call tidy. It does mean that we won't be coming home to a unclean home, which is a good thing I suppose.

I was very pleased to see that the first part of my Blake's 7 column has been published on The Vervoid and that Lissa did such a good job of making it look lovely! She's very good at that. I've had some nice comments back about it, which has been very pleasing for my ego!
