It's not just horses that go crazy

There's a rainstorm happening outside my window. It's pouring down in bucketloads, in torrents with sheets in 'em.

This'll be the third time this week I've put off the back lawn mowing until too late.

I want to be naked and dance in the downpour, but the neighbours would have a fit!

Lalalalala...

Oh gloat why don't ya. LOL Could do with a downpour like that here. My brother had a good downpour as well last week and he lives just outside of Warick.

We've had a lot of rain lately and it's been falling in the Warragamba catchment, which is great news, because the dam was at less than 50% last time I checked. But this afternoon was different - it really was a sky-opener.

I'll sms the weather gods for you :-)

[minki-moira.livejournal.com]

LOL I'll keep my eyes open for them.

Thanks Kiwisue, they arrived last night around 2 am, although I think the Gold Coast got the brunt of the storm they created. LOL

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

*g* Glad I could be of assistance!

Yes, Minki, we did get a whopping great thunderstorm last night, and at 2 in the morning.

I had trouble sleeping and just seemed to drop off when this damn great thunderclap and lightning had me sitting up in bed, heart thumping.

Please don't send any more thunderstorms in the middle of the night.

[minki-moira.livejournal.com]

LOL Hey don't blame me, I didn't send it, Kiwisue did! Her and her storm Gods.

[sunray45.livejournal.com]

Sorry luv.

Kiwi Sue, tell your storm gods to hold off in the middle of the night.

[minki-moira.livejournal.com]

Muggy enough for you?

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

Oops. I'm sorry you had a disturbed night. Unfortunately, boys will be boys, you know. I'll have a word ;-)

G'wonnnn... give 'em a thrill. ;-)))))

Eeeevil woman! I was tempted, but the 15 year-old lads next door would have been completely disillusioned *g*

Rain? what is this thing 'rain'? I have vague memories of wet stuff falling from the sky...but I've forgotten the last time we had any in SA.

Send it over 'ere!

I'm not in the least bit selfish - you can have as much as you like! It was good in December and January (kept the heat down a lot and pretty much eliminated the bushfires), but I'm over it. Sydney needs to learn to live within its resources and to not treat this gift as a pardon for water-wastage. OTOH, someday soon I hope to get my sheets dry *wry grin*

I've danced in the rain in very little clothing ... it was humid and it was lovely ... and b***er the neighbours.

The bathers were not handy ? (no I wasn't wearing bathers)

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

*LOL I should have thought of that (bathers)! I know that a few years ago I would have done it, and b***er the neighbours, as you say. I'm becoming too sedate - must fix that!

I'm becoming too sedate

Don't know if you have watched the movie True Lies ... but if you have ... we will get Major Cowley to give you a 'hot' undercover operation to kick start things :)

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

I think I've watched True Lies - but with most Arnie films (except for Terminator and Conan), I tend to forget them very quickly, so I don't get the reference. Brain like a sieve, I'm afraid.

In True Lies HELEN TASKER (Jaime Lee Curtis) is bored with her life ... she meets a 'wannabe spy' SIMON (Bill Paxton) and agrees to fly with him to Paris on a "mission". She thinks her husband HARRY (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a Computer Salesman. Harry finds out she is meeting another man and 'follows' her ... bugs her conversations ... blah blah blah ... she is arrested and during interrogation he finds out she WANTS SOME EXCITEMENT and that she STILL LOVES her husband. As Harry is really a spy working under a character played by Charlton Heston, he gives her a 'little assignment'.

One thing leads to another and then it cuts to 1 year later and Helen has joined Harry in the spy business and they get called up for a mission and meet up with the 'wannabe spy' again Simon ... it is a good laugh. The stand-in for Arnie in the action scenes was a bad choice but I do love it when Helen drops the automatic gun and it bounces down the steps killing everyone in its path.

A light movie where the good guys win. Nothing taxing on the brain.

Not that you wanted to know all this, but now you know :)

Arnie flies a HARRIER ... Martin did that little commercial thingy about voting for the Harrier ... so my extreme 6 degrees of Shaw :) I grab them wherever I can - lol.

Oh ye gods I miss rain and proper, happening-suddenly weather! It's beautiful here, but... I guess I want to know that my world is alive. And over-endowed with italics... *g*

I danced in the rain once... although I was wearing pyjamas, and I was about seven... I remember that it hadn't rained for a very very long time - long enough that mum and dad felt justified waking up me and my sister to see it, when it finally happened late one summer's night... Lovely memory actually - so thanks for that too!

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

Well, we've been missing it too - several years of dry hot summers. Not my favourite thing about Australia.

Back in NZ, which has as much rain as anyone could ask for, most of the time, I really enjoyed the feeling of an upcoming summer storm. The electricity crackling in the air, the ponies galloping around madly...

Weather, yeah. I like other sorts; the stillness of frost and ice, or a blustery wind that stings faces and makes walking so much trouble. As you say, the world is alive! *g*
