Hail to the Jooles


Something crazy happened to me today.

I was walking home from Tesco, carrying my weekly food shopping. My I-pod was playing Charlie Big Potato, from Skunk Anansie. It had been very windy all morning, and cloudy; as if a thunderstorm was about to happen.

Well, for those who don't know Charlie Big Potato, at some point near the end, it goes all quiet and Skin sings "Alone brother, alone sister, a home cover". Well, at this point the wind stopped. And a weird noise started, as if thousands of people were clapping hands. It was growing louder and louder, and at the same time in the song the drums started rolling. And then the song's amazing gitar riff kicked in, Skin starts screaming "Alone" over and over, and precisely at the same time a massive amount of hail starts falling on me, with the wind back and stronger than ever, blowing hail all over the street. It was amazing.

I just love when Nature goes crazy, especially whe I have the right soundtrack for it. And I must say London is quite a good place for that.
But today the timing was just so, so right...

That's all I have to say about that.
