Lightning flashes towards the ground somewhere between my office window and The Gherkin…<\/p>\n
Thunder makes this building vibrate.<\/p>\n
The sky is dark, stormy, ominous.<\/p>\n
Yet over there (gesticulates in the general direction of the Post Office Tower) is a blue sky with harmless-looking, white fluffy clouds that resemble a kind of pale\u00c2\u00a0candy-floss – the kind\u00c2\u00a0you’d get if you made candy-floss without adding the pink dye to the sugar?<\/p>\n
There’s a large in-bound airliner slowly cruising north-east to south-west at about 1,800 feet.<\/p>\n
But outside, on the ground, nothing moves.<\/p>\n
Even the cars are taking temporary refuge from the battering rain.<\/p>\n
No pedestrians venture out.<\/p>\n
The light continues to fade, street lamps flicker in to life -\u00c2\u00a0activated by their light-sensitive devices.<\/p>\n
Welcome to the end of the world.<\/p>\n
Or July in London.<\/p>\n
