muggy here too susie- apparently we are due storms later...woo hoo...LOVE them

[WendyC]

Scorching here. I'm indoors which seems a waste as the forecast for the week ahead looks terrible.
Update on Mum. She is much much better. She has been able to get out of bed to go to the toilet (with a frame) and has been asking for a book to read, so concentration returning. The doctor did ask her when she wanted to go home earlier in the week but she didn't feel strong enough then. She is eating more now so that will help. Thanks for all your kind wishes over the last few weeks, I do believe there's a chink of light at the end of the tunnel.

Artnoon All.
Glad your Mum's improving, Wendy. Hope she's strong enough to go home soon.
After a hot morning and a load of weeding and seeding, the rain and thunder has arrived The pups don't know whether they should bark at it or not - though barking and running out into the rain seems to be their preference! More dry towels needed
Hope you're all OK and enjoying the weekend

Afternoon I walked home from work in the sunshine and 5 minutes later I'm watching a thunderstorm complete with hailstones

Thats good news about your mum Wendy

[JanieB]

I started clearing the kitchen out ready for the builders at about 7am. It rapidly got much too hot, so I started on the lounge instead (where the kitchen stuff eg fridge and freezer) have to go whilst the building work is going on.

My dogs hate rain and I wear them if there's thunder. From the feel of it I'm in for an uncomfortable evening. Not helped by the fact that the TV's carp.

Wonderful news Wendy!
Your mom must be relieved she's feeling better as the days go by. These things take time.

Still waiting for the storm- there are a few darker clouds coming in but loads of blue still.
At least I had time to get my washing dried on the line!-

[Scarlet]

Had to make a dash to get my washing in an hour ago, it threw it down but it's blown over and it's still pretty warm. I've friends coming for dinner and I'm wondering if we can have drinks in the garden first. I love the smell the garden after it's rained

You are *kidding* me, Scarlet!! Mind you, by first was this, so I guess that I hardly have the aesthetic high ground...

[Hazel at the Hill]

I'm not getting lost in the byways tonight - a practice go earlier on today around the route of an upcoming race has tattered me.

Although my overall time was appalling, it was not a wasted run out - I learnt lessons on pacing (I faded badly on the second half), water intake, advisability of suncream (when running in the heat of the day in blazing sun with no shade on the country lanes) - and the importance of having a couple of quid about your person for an icecream at the finish!

That brings back memories of the first love of my life (There were many.............)

[veggiechicken]

My first record - the complete La Boheme. Still have the LPs somewhere.
This duet still makes me stop still and listen

and with this, I wish you all Nos da

[Nicos]

Just spent the last 10 minutes watching sheet lightning approaching from the SW
No rumbling or bangs, no rain , just flashes every 10 seconds or so.
Really pretty!

All accompanied by crickets chirping away in the garden

Don't ya just love summer?
