Out in the garden just now, watching the sky light up and listening to the thunder.

I love thunder storms!

There is blanket cloud and the flashes make it look like a bright white sheet is stretched across the heavens. I love the dull slow boom of far off lightning and the sharp ripping crack of closer strikes.

Have you ever been so near to a lightning strike that the flash and the thunder are simultaneous? It is the loudest sound EVER! It hurts and makes you jump out of your skin!

Mind you, the good thing is that the storm may ease the humidity down here but if it goes on past bedtime I will have trouble sleeping because of the noise.

So I don't love thunderstorms unconditionally then, obviously.

For those of you who are bored and have plenty of time on your hands, obviously not you Soy have a go at this.

You have probably all seen it before, but what the hell.

1) Go to the link below. After reading each window, click on the boy in
The lower right corner of the picture.

2) In the last window type in your answer in the white box using the
Keyboard (there is NO cursor).

3) Watch the paper in the boy's hand.

No I have not done something hog whimperingly stupid and reckless – at least not this time.

What I mean is I never remember things that should be ingrained into my mind by now.

Like the fact that the light switch in our kitchen is on the right hand side of the doorway as you go in, but even after 13 + years of living there I reach to the left hand side.

And the fact that the doors in the outer office push away from you on your way out, yep – I constantly try pulling them AND there is a sign on them saying, “Push” just above the handles. Worked here for about four years so far and it’s not sunk in yet.

And yes I do get it all wrong on the way back in as well, but I have seen other people do this so I don’t feel quite so retarded.

And after god knows how many years you would think by now I would remember which one of those two big white metal things in S&F’s kitchen was the fridge and which one was the freezer. No.

I must be a slow learner.
