Default Lightning show over Sydney now.......
I so love summer storms and yes I also feel bad that someone may be copping a rough deal..............but the lightning show around Sydney is amazing. To the south its lightning ever few seconds.

I went skating in it. but it got a bit intense and then I thought lightning would hit me.

Cos that is seriously my fucking luck.

I can sit for ages just watching. I have a decent view from balcony down the street
and across the harbour to Kings Cross and its just lighting up every few seconds.
Looks like a number of storms all circling around Sydney.

Yeah it is nice. It was short thou. Apparently lightning builds our ozone layer. Hopefully it shuts the hole down

We got hail at around 5pm. That lasted around an hour. Now it's constant thunder...

Well, the storm just hit Rozelle with a vengence. Water started streaming down the inside of one of my windows, naturally the window right behind my computer. So there I am with towels trying to stop the water going everywhere whilst at the same time trying to push my computer, desk etc out the way. All the time aware that there is a live power board on the wet carpet right near my bare feet. Fun and games.

Oh, and did I mention I was only wearing underwear. Right in front of the window. My poor neighbours.

Just checking if your neighbours have recovered from the sight of you in underwear

No, the poor things have been digging their eyes out with blunt pencils all night.

The screaming and gnashing of teeth kept me awake all bloody night!

IT just makes me want to strip off and run around outside. I welcome the monsoon! Its like some kind of released tension - a meteorological orgasm if you will. Getting struck by lightning however, would NOT be cool.
The humidity makes me fell sexy. I am mostly water apparently. I cant speak for the rest of you

I'm so terrified of thunder and lightning!! The downside to being single is noone to snuggle up to and protect me at night!

I must be trying to match my mood

That's unfair! I admit I am a chicken... but I am not used to storms! I always end up in bed with the covers over my head and ipod up until I fall asleep! It HAD to start raining 10mins before I finished work today ugh.. really over this weather... starting to think I'm back in Seattle!

Rain washes the houses, trees and streets and it all goes down and fouls the coast.

I should have put my car out to get a free wash. It hasn't seen a bucket of water in over 12 months.
