clouds and stars and shit

Nothing to say really, just an observation.

I just popped out to get the paper, and post a letter. As I left the house I saw the most astonishing bank of cloud approaching from the west, with sheets of rain visible in the distance. It was one of those moments when I realise why I bought a digital camera, as I've never seen such a finely detailed, browny-grey mass of cloud as this. Of course, I didn't have my camera with me, so I'll just have to compare it to the dust trails that occult star systems and drape across the arms of spiral galaxies.

I decided not to post my letter - it would have required walking another 100 yards, and the weather was so threatening I decided against it. I made it home okay, and as I went in through the front door, I felt smething on my back foot. Within a split second, literally, of me going inside, torrential hail had started to fall. Yuck.

So, what nastiness is going to rebalance my karma this afternoon, then?

(p.s. if you like the pretty space pictures, add this site to your favourites. It's totally worth it.)
