Never tempt the sky

Summer of 04, Melbourne. Heh, was happily twiddling with my computer in my room, unaware of the boiling sun outside. Until of course, I hung my laundry out to dry. A blistering 40 degrees celsius, one still ponders about the mad Melbourne weather, where only a day ago, I was still enjoying 20 degrees and less.

The day had started late (heh, tired of the sunrise already, gonna sleep earlier these coming days), so while most of my laundry had dried 3 hours later, there were still 2 articles of clothing that were fairly wet. 6pm, it was a nice golden sunset, and nary a cloud in the sky. So I mentioned to my friend, ‘Impossible it will rain lar, so hot, some more no clouds’. So I left them out to dry.

Flash floods no, but flash forward at 1230am, the unthinkable happened. It rained! The spotless sky rained, much to the amusement of my friend. Heh, the rest is history.
