There was a lot of lightning here last night. It was around 1am and I’d not got to sleep yet. I could smell smoke, like paper-burning smoke, so I got up to investigate. I figured the drunk people in the pub next door’s smoking area had been doing something daft. So I just closed the window that overlooks that area, if I can’t see/hear/smell it, it’s nothing to do with me! >< While I was stood there I saw white flashes, but I thought it was them taking pictures, it was only after a few more that I realised it was lightning.
It must have been quite some distance away because there was hardly any thunder, and what there was was hard to hear. The rain was stealthy too, coming down quietly with no wind to get it on the windows. I was peering out of the spare room window watching it falling, until I tilted my head a little and realised there was a spider of about an inch across sat on the frame within about 2 inches of my face D:< Hopefully he buggered off back outside once the rain stopped!
How old are your minions, Andy?
mini me is the middle one.
