Thankfully you refuse to so the long haul flights, Mick!

I remember on my way to Tennessee being sat in a 747 in a holding pattern over Chicago in a massive thunderstorm.
Cabin crew and everyone was strapped in and the plane dropped like a stone. When the stewardesses screamed that's when I thought "This is it. I guess this is when I find out what it's like to be a fly hitting a car windscreen"

I actually enjoy a good thunderstorm but it seems we haven't had one up here for a long, long time.

Thank God for  Steroids I say, although I only take them when desperate solutions are needed.
I have checked to make sure my stock of them is current in my emergency kit that the doc. lets me keep at home in readyness

Gawd Bob, is life worth living 

I'll think (sadly) of you when I have mine with tea ...

Our little lane is like a Tractor n Trailer Grand Prix circuit what with the farmers getting as much hay in before the threatened deluge.

Blue the cat is staying well away from the 10 foot high hedge between us n them!

The coolest room in the house is showing 24.5c.
