Last night/this morning – the time when we should all be in bed asleep – we had our first thunderstorm of the season.
Loud cracks of thunder. Flashes of lightening that lit up the sky. Heavy drops of rain. Falling very fast. Deafening noise. The sort of thunderstorm you get in Queensland. More specifically Brisbane on a hot summer afternoon. Almost made me homesick.
Jack, the dog we babysit regularly, didn't like it one bit. All he wanted to do was run around in the back yard and bark at the thunder and lightening. We let him have his wish, but once his barking got loud enough to wake the neighbours, we called him in.
As for me, I tried to sleep but to no avail. Don't know whether it was the thunder, lightening or the energy in the air, but I was all revved up and just couldn't sleep. So rather than toss and turn, I decided to get up and be productive.
Cup of tea made. Blog post written. Now for some etsy uploads. I mean I need to make the most of those cashed-up consumers looking for that perfect handmade holiday gift.
A scarf...?
Some screenprinted fabric...?
Maybe some leather goods...?
