it's raining!

the storm clouds formed earlier, and now they cracked. It is tipping it down, thunder a crackling away, bringing real cooling relief to what has been an insufferably humid few days.

Rain, c'mon, rain!

Re: it's raining!

Still sticky and horrid here. Has been pretty unbearable all day, but i am trying not to complain as i have been complaining that its not felt like summer. Still, i like a thunder storm so bring it on.

Re: it's raining!

oh the breeze is devine! the thunder and lighting have stopped but the air is rich with the cool scent of fresh rain, and the temperature has dropped notably. Better watch the roads tomorrow as they're bound to be slippy. Man, the breeze is a blessed relief, it's washing over me now...so refreshing

Re: it's raining!

The rain over my way has been one blessed relief

pouring down as Chris Tarrant on Tiswas used to say "torrential"

.... it's been so hot and humid in the house and at work
that I nearly ran out it in naked tonight wanting to yell
"Rain on me oh ye gods, rain on me and cool my burning body"


...but I didn't as I thought the neighbours might call the Police
describing a nutcase in the garden next door ... and worse than that
I knew the cats would look at me all funny

Now that is powerful voodoo, Quinn.

You only need to think about doing it and it starts to rain.

Much as I'd like to take the credit, I fear that owning up to knowing any Julio Inglesias songs would just be too reputationally damaging.

Credit back with you for this one, methinks.

( Anyway it's foggy here not wet, so it couldn't have been me. )

I didn't say I don't have strange powers - only that I didn't cause the rain.

If I had, I would have waited until you were running naked outside screaming to the gods. And trust me, then you'd REALLY be soaked.

I might have enjoyed that ... in fact your rendition

convinced me that Thor was the God of Thunder

and that Paris Hilton sings like Dusty Springfield
