Its long been realised that from an interllectual stand point i am not my best when i first wake up in the morning. Thinking is a little off centre to downright weird and i think its only through the celebral restoration powers of the morning shower that the chaos in my head is restored to the orderly flow of thoughts.
This morning my clock radio turned on to wake me as it does every day and the first concious thought of the day was the realisation that they were playing Summer Rain and as I lay there i listened to the music and thought what a lame remix they were playing, lots of thunder to the point it was hard to understand what poor Belinda was singing. Almost at the end of the song i dragged myself out of bed and into the shower to start another day. On the way i let the dog in who seemed pleased to see me as he tried to shoot through the door even before it was open enough to admit his slim dimensions.
We had a strong and very active thunderstorm today that from all accounts started around dawn and for those watching put on an entertaining and dramatic lightning show. I slept through it until wakened by my alarm where i categorised said storm as a lame remix. I would have liked to have the time to go out and try to get some photos of the storm and the lightning but … I slept through it and woke up at my normal time having to go to work. My only real contact with the storm was walking out my front door and getting the flash of lightning with an almost instantaneous boom of thunder that rattled my senses and tightened my chest.

I adore thunderstorms. But waking up to one would have had me diving back under the doona. Such a great day for sleeping in.
