I mean, I don't voluntarily go out into the rain, but I don't flip my lid if I get caught in it either...sometimes it's kind of...nice ^^

Pretty uneventful morning at work! Still no clothing/homeware delivery, so I was helping with filling the till drawers with change. Easy money.

(The money I'm being paid, I mean. ;))

How was your walk? Which route was it this time?

OH! So they let you touch money there occasionally? :p

I went the usual route through the village, nothing special just nice to get some fresh air!
 
You haven't truly experienced Welsh weather unless you've driven up to a cwm, with the intention of doing some sketchbook studies, on what appears to be a lovely day, get halfway up, only to find that all of a sudden the greyest of clouds have made their presence, precipitate a c**p load of hail for a solid 10 minutes, we wait it out, but ultimately decide to go back to the van, and in that time, the sky clears as if nothing b****y happened!

Yeah, I think so too. It's quite pleasing to the senses, I find. Even though it's a bit annoying as a glasses wearer!

I picked up my new glasses today. Nice clear vision.

Sounds just like Knockhill racing circuit up here. It's got its very own microclimate!

It really does! You just never know what it's going to do next. Do I need an anorak, or a strappy top? Or both? You literally go up a mountain wearing everything, just in case!

Only to find out you’re still unprepared. Especially for ball lightning.

OH we've had that too! Well, mad thunderstorms that is. We went camping many years ago near Black Rock Sands, and there was a MASSIVE storm, wind, thunder, forked lightening, and we only had a wee canvas tent. Well, the pegs were flying out of the ground, the canvas was flapping all over the place, and my poor Mum was trying to hold the tent together, whilst it's p*****g down with rain, thunder and forked lightening, horrendous wind, holy c**p it was scary! My sister and I were in sleeping bags exposed to the elements.

I think it's why, to this day, I still get nervous when there's a thunderstorm...
