07.12.2002 – Saturday 7 December

• Jade, Shan and Ella came around after going up to the shop, and I got a lift back to their place, where I spent the evening.

• A huge peel of thunder rolled around the hills, crashing into the valley and rolling away into the distance. It was the first indication of a coming storm. It is unusual to get a storm at 11 PM, and it is unusual to not hear the thunder approaching. Fearing the worst and expecting little green men at the door at any moment, I stayed up until after 4 AM.
