I love thunderstorms, but I'd have had to be outside in it feeling the rain and getting the best views of the lightening. We have some incredible storms here and the neighbours think I'm a loonatic. If it just rains, I take the bike outside and wash it!
The first picture that says Klub instead of Club has triggered me so I feel unable to comment on the rest of your no doubt great post mate! Lol but I bet the wife's face was a picture when you have her the ring you ol' softie!
Have a wonderful weekend :-)
