I recently blogged about one of life’s small pleasures.
One of my other simple delights, which doesn’t cost a penny, is lying in bed at night, hearing heavy rain outside; being driven into the windows and side of the house by strong gusts of wind. I love it.
What I do not love is when the weather is dry and calm all night, but decides to unleash a hellish combination of wind and rain, as I am about to leave for work.
Despite wearing a coat and somehow managing to drive my 4-miles-per-hour mobility scooter as if it were a Formula One motorcar, the 8 minute ride to the office resulted in me getting absolutely soaked!
I was worried that a passing car may drive through a deep puddle in the road, splashing me in the process. However, I don’t think even the mother of all soakings could have made me any less drenched than how I was, upon arrival at my desk.
What’s the weather tonight, as I blog and prepare to sleep? Yes, you’ve guessed it. The weather is calm and dry.

I can honestly say that in the 38 years I have been on this planet, I have never lost so much sleep due to the heat.
At one point, Claire - equally as overheated as me - gave up and went downstairs to our front room. The temperature on...
- You Call That A Storm?
I asked for a storm. This is what I got.
I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed.
The thunder and lightning was very brief, and while the rain sounded heavy, I don't think it lasted long.
If I was to grade the "storm" like a school teacher would mark their pupils' work, it would have...

Those at BBC Weather are liars. Here's proof.
They promise you the earth, and then they break your heart.
