Darkening clouds

The first drops of rain were starting to fall just as I was walking home from the bus stop but the clouds still kept getting darker and only a few moments after I'd taken this photo we also had some hailstones.

I've been working late again today and am very much looking forward to the return of the colleague whose work I'm doing in addition to my own while she's on holiday.

Thank you very much for all the comments and stars on yesterday's orchid blip. Each of them is very much appreciated.
