Gathering stormclouds

After a great cup of coffee my plans for today were to head over to Glasgow Green and the People's Palace with the DSLR for a bit of a play. The sun was in the sky and it seemed like a perfect day for it. By the time I'd made it into the city centre dark storm clouds were beginning to gather and my plan was beginning to seem less plausible - I might like dancing in the rain but my camera (the DLSR not the compact) doesn't even like coming out of it's case if there's a drop of rain let alone a deluge! So I quickly took a few shots of the Tron theatre - one of my favourites because I've spent many a happy evening there taking in many a fine show - and of the dark gathering clouds. Then I hopped on a bus on a bus home just seconds before the heavens opened with an almighty hailstorm - excellent timing!

So instead of having a fun afternoon with my camera I'm at home wrapped up in a warm fleece, drinking yet more vanilla coffee (hmm) and working on some job applications. I'd really rather not - listening to music, playing my guitars, blipping, going to the cinema, taking photographs, reading and writing are all so much more fun but none of them pay the bills - if only! The break has been great but nothing lasts for ever - now I just have to find something a little less stressful and a little more fun than what i was doing before!



It takes a real storm in the average person's life to make him realize how much worrying he has done over the squalls.
