JUMPING JACK FLASH

 Well, there was a flash and I jumped.



I took the trailer around to my sister's place this morning to clear the way for the drain-layers who (hopefully) might turn up next week.

I parked and secured the trailer, getting saturated at the time as it had started to rain heavily. I grabbed an umbrella out of the car and headed up the drive to check my sister's holiday house when ⚡FLASH⚡ - the panels of my umbrella lit up and my legs and boots were illuminated. Immediately afterwards there was an almighty thunderclap. I dropped the umbrella and sprinted to the porch for shelter.

I don't know how close the lightning flash was to me but it was eerie the way the umbrella lit up. I hadn't realised there was a thunder storm brewing - this was the first of many flash-bangs. While I waited for it to pass I wondered if Robert's god or even Richard's new found deity Bent had anything to do with this. If they did the'd either missed or were giving me a warning.

Brent says it was just a warning. He's* more worried about Robert's behavior in the Presbyterian church.

* cock or no cock

Maybe Bent should hide in a cupboard in that Presbyterian church and surprise Robert when he opens it to snoop.

"My "god" is unknowable. and outside of time."

Sounds like the lyrics from a Rolling Stones song.

"You're out of touch, my baby
My poor discarded baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time".
