Day 196 2016: Head in the clouds?

Day 196: ...not likely

No, not on a day like today. Too much work to do, too many things to complete, too many decisions to make. But then, that's just the sort of day you'd like to look outside just occasionally. 

The morning walk to the bus stop highlight was pretty interesting...

A little pink

These flowers keep on flowering. That's the back window of a discarded jeep by the way, in case you were wondering. 

And that was all very well except by the time I got to work, well the work had started well and truly.  The weather bureau had promised a bit of an afternoon storm after a hot day, thunder, lightning, rain, and more rain. So I thought it only advisory that I keep an eye on things. 

About mid-afternoon, those recognisable storm clouds started to gather...

Scale

Rumbling

Movement


Recognisable to anyone from Brisbane at least...then the greys moved in...

Overcome by grey

A little lighter


But the rain didn't. 

The 'other' side


Until I reached the ground floor when it pelted down on the 'run' to the train station. 

Oh well, always trust the weather bureau, yes?
