Wild weather  12

Yesterday was a lot of fun for me: headache, tingly arms (and one more embarrassing symptom). Why? Here’s why:

Storm

Happens to me every time there’s a storm brewing - maybe I should change my name to “Lightning Bloke”, “Storm Geezer” or something similar.

Oh, and it’ll be minus 100 points to whoever suggests “Thunder Pants” …

What exactly is the ‘embarrassing symptom’? Because I want to make fun of it.

It’s Thunder-Shaft! Whenever you need somewhere to hang your umbrella after coming in from a storm, he’ll be there!

I prefer the handle, “ThunderPants”; if I were you I’d drop all the other junk, and stick with this one. Thunderpants has a certain, Flashman appeal.

  1. Have just found your site and am enthralled. Really, you’re a male (presumably straight) British version of myself! Will be returning often, particularly when I’m procrastinating (as I am at this very moment).
  2. So ya think storms and MD (in my case SMA, close enough) don’t mix well? Try living in the lightning capital of the US with two metal rods holding your spine up and a service dog who always has to go poo in the middle of the daily summer storms. Bah.
  3. Will return, and look forward to making friends!
