We're thinking of you, folks.

Like, proper rain.

I'm off to buy stockings for the gig tonight and to find some zany paper with which to write to frzn_mmnt.

Yay! Eight hours sleep! I won't know myself today. Pity I'm working so I don't really get to enjoy being awake. Then again, I shouldn't bitch - with four interlocks of Pirates and Shrek III at least I won't be bored ( Read more... )

Is it completely wrong of me to wish that thunderstorms roll in early and cause blackouts at work? All I want to do today is climb on the roof of the cinema and stand in the blessed rain.

It's early in the morning and yet it's already 25C/77F.

I want the biggest thunderstorms we've seen in ages ... and I bet the firefighters do too.

That's it!

I'm taking the fan to bed.
