Rainy Monday

Hey Joy! Hope you are feeling better by the time you see this! It's horrid to be sick :(

Yesterday was a really on-off day; we had crazy rain in the morning:

I tried to catch a picture of the raindrops on the edge of the window...
This was the view over my neighbourhood on this gray, wet, Monday morning! I got wet walking to the station :( But it cleared up a bit during the day - I managed to go for a walk at lunchtime and only got wet for the last 5 minutes!


This was the view from the office just before 5pm - we had a crazy storm after this, it rained and rained and rained all night!


And then when I got home there was this fantastic rainbo right over the town: in the picture below you should just be able to see the double-rainbow reflected in the sky. It's the first time I've ever seen a rainbow this bright in London!



But after that it rained again, most of the night... except this morning it was bright and sunny and I wished I'd gotten up early to run, but I was too sleepy... this week I have decided only to run if I wake up by myself at 4.30 or 5am (which usually happens every other week!) - my alarm is normally set for 5.45am, which is just enough time to get up, do tai chi, shower, have breakfast, catch the train and then have a coffee and some thinky-time before work. I usually have about 45 minutes or an hour to go over my goals, and write in my journal - this time is very precious to me, and worth getting up early for!

Today I bought a new mobile internet device, so I can make sure to have internet even when my home connection is broken (of course, now I've bought a new one, today it's fixed itself!) But if the new one works really well I will get rid of the home connection altogether. The new connection can be used anywhere and it's wireless so it should be very handy any time I want to use my computer in a different place! I'm excited to have a new toy for my computer!! Yay!
