'Twas quite a few days before Christmas....

.....and a storm was brewing outside. Thunder struck, lightning blazed across the sky and the rain poured on the roof in the middle of the night, and I was watching the same way I did when I was 5. Storms are cool!

A happier blog, I finally let my emotions get the better of me yesterday and cried. I feel better now, amazing what a good cry, good company and a couple of nights boozing will do.

But the one of the cooler things about living here is Christmas.....the festive season has started, and Im quite excited. The first decorations went up today (during one of the periods of non-rain), and from what I saw, there are certainly plenty more to come!
