Sooo...
Last night, we were both trying hopelessly to get to sleep in our oven, er, apartment. Usually we have a nice breeze but for some reason, we just couldn't get the place cooled down last night. And it didn't help that I got a really nice sunburn yesterday, making everything seem hotter and the sheets feel like sandpaper.
About 2am, we were resigned to the fact that it wasn't going to get any cooler when we heard a most unusual sound for Southern California in July...thunder. We got up and went out to the patio just as the sky lit up with a magnificent flash of lightning. We pulled up a couple of chairs to watch the show and were soon treated to a nice little bit of rain that felt unbelievably good. It also brought a cool breeze with it that finally knocked the hot air out of our place.
I don't think I've ever been so happy to see a thunderstorm.
