Despite the prospect of having to drive in it later, I was so looking forward to a really good thunderstorm tonight
The sky turns an ominous dark grey, you hear rolls of thunder in the distance and the pre-storm smell of rain drifts in through open windows. The birds stop singing and you sit, waiting for the breathtaking heavenly light show to start and............nothing...nil...nada...zilch! The thunder is by now so far away it's as noisy as a fart and not a drop of rain!  :doh:
