Rainy days (Click for short video - 8Mb download)
Yesterday I daubed sun block all over myself in readiness for the beach only for the sky to darken and a thunderstorm take hold before I even got out of the door. It stayed around until early evening flooding the street outside. Today I managed to get to the beach, but after ten minutes it went ominously dark and a large raindrop landed on my chest. I sat in contemplation for a few minutes hoping it would pass but as the rain drops gathered pace I decided to follow the example of the rest of the people fleeing the beach. They were obviously well versed in the Jacksonville weather. I trudged back to the apartment just 25 minutes after setting out. A wise choice, as almost with ritual timing the heavens opened, the thunder cracked and heavy rain stopped play. Molly Cat has taken up residence under a bed, and it looks like another afternoon cooped up for me too.
