Rain? What rain?

Watching the news and weather forecast this morning, they keep talking about all these storms, torrential rain and floods that happened yesterday, and I'm sitting here going, "Huh?" What rain? Cardiff must have been sitting in a little microclimate all of its own yesterday, as we didn't even have so much as a hint of rain or storms. Blue skies and blazing heat all day.

Okay, driving lesson #2 over and done with. I don't think I shall ever enjoy driving. He made me go out into actual traffic on a proper road! A busy road! But we survived.

The highlight of today's lesson was a conversation about Daleks. For those not keeping up, my driving instructor was part of the team that designed, built and controlled the Daleks for the new series of Doctor Who. Very cool. He says they only made three Daleks, so the thousands we saw on-screen were the result of overlapping film (they had to re-film the same shot over and over, but with their Daleks in different places doing different things) and also CGI cloning. Interesting. He also said that his own Dalek was slightly heavier than the others and had more white paint on it. This means I shall have to watch the episode again (such a hardship) to see if I can pick Lyn's one out of the crowd. *G*
