14th July 2006
nipped out to catch the skyburst

We had visitors,
but outside I could see the sky getting colourful,
I was itchin' and a twitchin'
Then I could bear it no longer.
I risked the wrath of Mrs N,
grabbed a chocolate penguin to nibble from the plate,
wolfed down my cuppa tea
and nipped out the road.

Well worth risking the wrath of Mrs. N. A really excellent scene well taken. And I get itchy about shots sometimes too. Kiss her sweetly and let her know you are admired round the world! vote
