Weird Weather Friday
It was quite fine when I woke this morning, and then minutes later we had torrential rain. The rain continued as I made my way to work. Half an hour later, and it was sunny. Actually it was hot in my office, and I could feel the warmth of the sun come through.… Read the rest “Weird Weather Friday”
