I forgot to write about my favourite experience when I was up in Launceston this week. On the Tuesday evening, I went to Rivers to look at some shoes. Once out of the store, I noticed some amazing clouds in the sky, very menacing and threatening a storm. I watched the storm come through and I saw the lightning light up the sky. I could feel it was going to rain and thought I'd better go, after spending 10 minutes staring at the sky from the Rivers car park. I went to Woolworths to get some dinner for Sophie and I and thought I wouldn't need my umbrella. I went in, did my shopping, got to the check out and saw it was pouring down in fast, heavy rain. I got outside the doors and saw everyone standing around waiting for the rain to stop. I stood there for a moment and thought "fuck it" and went for it. I started to walk fast then decided to take my time. It was a very liberating and glorious thing to do and it was so much fun. I remembered my fortune cookie from Christmas lunch at Yorick's aunt Di's place: "Allow yourself to be spontaneous." Spontaneity is one of my weaknesses. I was very proud though and I had such a great time doing it. Bring on the next time!
