Serendipity (February)


[For Simone Pereira] February humidity. Colleague emails: "I hope you managed to reach home before the storm hit Melbourne last night. Locally, many boom gates were down and stuck in Moreland and Coburg." Me: "I love thunderstorms. Last night's was too quiet for my liking. Fortunately we are promised more thunderstorms today." Which prompted memories of Serendip: "I too love thunderstorms and we had spectacular ones in Sri Lanka during the monsoon period with rains so heavy you barely saw what was in front of you.  Thin, tall coconut trees copped the worst with lightning strikes to the top branches."
