Last night the skies were angry, I can only guess why. The only light outside came from flashes of lightning that looked so beautiful as they made the black sky purple for a few brief seconds. And it was those seconds in which we began counting, waiting for the roars of thunder to tell us how close the storm was. At its peak it was half a second away. Does that mean half a mile? Who knows! It was this storm that rudely interrupted our viewing of The Aristocats. The static from the storm made my fairy lights flicker, and through my net curtain we could see the occasional flashes. We were so interested in the storm that The Aristocats took a back seat to us viewing the lightning show for half of the film (until 'Everybody Wants to be a Cat' came on- How can you not sing to that).
It was only as the storm finished that we decided that we needed some food. Pizza Hut delivery was the option of the evening and gosh darn it was worth the wait. Every time a car drove past our house or paused outside I would run to the window shouting 'FOOOD', and every time I was disappointed. 40 minutes after ordering our food we finally received it, ate it and enjoyed the parts of The Aristocats that we had previously missed.
Last night was a good night and the calm after the storm this morning is bright and beautiful, even if there are far too many puddles on the road.
PS- I am totally disappointed that Ruby didn't win The Great British Bake Off, but congratulations to Francis for winning the prize!
