The Thunder has arrived....

[Michael Alexander]

Ok.... it might be trivial to those of you living elsewhere, but the rain and thunder have just landed...not a spot of blue sky anywhere, the heat, the dust.... that smell .... rain in the desert...... the lights are flickering...... i wonder when the power will go down..... it's lekker living in the desert....

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

Our power was down from 10  - 12 this morning not due to thunder storms though. Hot as Hades here to-day I've worked up a glow.  Sat at the beach earlier with my newspaper,sushi and one glass of white wine.....magic

[georg ruf jr.]

Remember that smell well. Especially in Windhoek.
What do you need electricity for? Never heard of Benjamin Franklin?

[Michael Alexander]

Ya, but my kite got chewed up by my new best friend......

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

Thunder storms are the best...lived in Ficksburg, thunderstorm belt. We'd watch from the lounge window how the lightning hit the tree's on the golf course over the road,quite something to watch. Then onto Phalaborwa,the storms there were heavy but past very quickly,just enough to cool you down then the steam rose from the roads,like I mean steam.

We didn't have thunder and lightening here and I don't have a key for my kite.
Anyway I had a good day to-day

[Michael Alexander]

Aha... the intelligent folk are up tonight..... I always remeber the DIsney Version of Mr Franklin and the key on the kite flying episode... had the books in the 70's... there was this fat little mouse with a red hat.....lalalalala...just a memory....

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

And dear intelligent folk........what was the mouses name?

[Michael Alexander]

mouses? Mice? one mouse called Amos?

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

I know.      What was the mouse name??????
                What was the mice name?????

I suppose:   What was the mouse called?    Amos he was

[Michael Alexander]

Indeed he was....Yahoooo!

[Susan Kintscher (Lineker)]

We had thunder as well as lighting last night and a bit of rain, just enough to make the roads messy. e180

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

Me thinks I just heard a roll of thunder here in Cape Town.

[Cherry (Alcock)]

Unless my ears are ringing also heard thunder now and it's just started to spit - yippee!

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]
