What can someone do when there is a power outage for two hours?
This is maybe just a rhetorical question, but I can try to guess what would be the best thing to do. Let's say grab a mop and wash the floor... continue sleeping... read a book (oh, well, if one doesn't forget to raise the blinds, which work only with the help of an electric motor... so read a book in the dark is not an option... at least not a clear option)... try to get out to the balcony and help the plants to survive the negligence... do nothing (have anyone ever achieved this?)... think in the dark (not safe when one has a crooked one). So what could someone in this situation do? I vaguely guess that the answer can't be found here as from all those fictitious scenarios it is difficult to pick.
You see, this morning I did something special - I went for a walk, can you believe it? You can ask yourself since when a simple walk can be labelled as special?
I don't know the answer, but what I do know is that I really don't make time for myself lately. If I don't do any other physical activity then at least a walk can count as a sport. :D
{no, it doesn't count, but let's pretend that it does...}
So, yes, I made a short walk this morning, to make something good from a situation that for others would be an issue. We walked toward the sea and got into some streets where I saw blooming succulents growing in wild, much nicer than my poor babies are doing in the pots. The sky was not nice, I must say it was so grey that just sad photos would come here in this post that tries to be funny (just mere attempts, I know). The sky was much duller than it was around two weeks ago when another, more interesting leg-stretching activity happened.
It was a Sunday afternoon, and the clouds decided to partially cover that blue dome. It was a strange cloud accumulation. You see it in the photos, right?
At first glance, it was not promising any serious storm, and before we reached the seashore even a nice rainbow appeared. Too bad there are buildings and cars in this photo, but life it is. Not always nice and perfect. Neither are my photos.
The confirmation that no perfect photo would come is just a step from you. Not a step, but just a tiny scroll down.
In those few minutes, getting from the street where the previous photos were taken to the seashore the nice optical phenomenon from the sky faded away. Nada, we couldn't see it in its full glory.
Rain also came (we didn't have umbrellas with us btw) to finish that walk full of meteorological phenomena. Clouds, rainbow, sun, rain, walk, dripping clothes until we reached our home... a mixture that in the end, because of a blackout finished here in Hive, for the #wednesdaywalk initiative, held by @tattoodjay :)
