Enjoying the delicate sound of thunderSomething you get accustomed to in Bangkok at this time of the year is the distant sound of thunder, Mother Nature's way of reminding us of her power and also not to forget the umbrella if we are going out. Last weekend on Saturday afternoon there was an extended period of rolling thunder which felt like it was surrounding the entire city. With sporadic lightning accompanying the thunder there was a free "light and sound" show for the best part of an hour. When it had all quietened down it seemed only right to conclude the afternoon listening to The Delicate Sound of Thunder, Pink Floyd's classic live album at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island. Scotland is also the source of the splendid "thunder plump" meaning a sudden heavy shower accompanied by thunder and lightning.
