The other night every resident of Bath was awoken by an almighty storm.
The weather pages on the BBC website have been promising us a storm for weeks. The weatherman in the sky never delivered on the Beeb’s word, which is disappointing seeing as the BBC have always been renowned for their honesty… lol.
That is why, as Claire and I got into bed, when she informed me that storms were forecast for the night ahead, I uttered the immortal words “It’ll never happen”.
I must be a jinx…
It was at about 1am when it all kicked off.
Instead of telling you what happened, I am going to show you.
Here is a reconstruction of how the events unfolded. Jackie Stallone is playing the part of yours truly…
(talking in sleep)
“not with the pastry… not with the pastry…”
“FUCKING HELL!”
I don’t know how long the storm went on for, but thank goodness I was indoors, as rain battered the house.
As I lay in bed, I was treated to a lights show, with flashes coming from the bedroom window and onto the landing, through the glass on the front door.
It was some spectacle and one I made the most of, as we probably won’t get another until the next decade.
No trackbacks yet.

I'm starting to feel less disappointed about our cruise being cancelled.
Had it gone ahead, this week we would be somewhere around the North Sea and Atlantic Ocean.

The weather on Wednesday night was fecking horrible! I can honestly say that in the 38 years I have been on this planet, I have never lost so much sleep due to the heat. At one point, Claire - equally as overheated as me - gave up and went downstairs to our front room. The temperature on...

I asked for a storm. This is what I got.
I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed.
The thunder and lightning was very brief, and while the rain sounded heavy, I don't think it lasted long.

About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
