Today I went to a birthday lunch with some friends at the bustling Cafe Reka at The Dowse.
At 12.45pm we observed that there was a huge downpour. The heavens just opened.
At 12.51pm the manager banged a water jug with a spoon. All she said was "We would like to observe 2 minutes silence." Interestingly, she didn't say what it was for. She didn't need to. Everyone knew.
Some people stood.
Others sat.
You could hear a pin drop.
Some people cried.
And then the rain stopped.

What a tragedy. :(
I was on the forecourt of Parliament. It bucketed down about 5 to 10 mins after the service. As odd as it sounds, it was nice to be surrounded by others at this time.
