Yes it&#8217;s that time of year when a beautiful sunny, muggy day can quickly become a wall of ominous black clouds swirling above and showering Grand Island with rain, hail and the odd tornado.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever the weather gets scary my grampa usually calls us and makes us drive up there to be safe down in their basement, so we round up anything we&#8217;d like to hang onto, stuff Spooky in a backpack and drive up there.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot of bad weather happening this evening but oddly, the system sort of split as it hit GI and the two parts ended up skirting completely around us which I find odd. It rained a little and we had some wind and a lovely lightning show but not much else.<\/p>\n<p>So as soon as the all clear was given we came home. Spooky streaked up our stairs and practically banged down the door trying to get in. She&#8217;s not used to taking road trips you see and I think she was scared. Poor thing also probably did not enjoy being squashed in Shan&#8217;s backpack full of homework.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway that was our excitement for the evening.<\/p>\n<p>Spent a bit of time today fiddling with the header for this blog. I don&#8217;t like it but it&#8217;s better then the generic one from the blogger template. I really should just suck it up and redo the design here but it&#8217;s such a fiddly pain in the ass with all the blogger code. Meh. I don&#8217;t hate this template though, apart from the colours and header. The layout and code is quite nice actually so maybe I&#8217;ll just fiddle with colours.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry, rambling. My contacts are bugging me so I guess I&#8217;ll put the laptop away now. Night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well I&#8217;ve just returned from a quick trip to the north end of town to sit in my grandparents&#8217; basement.
