Crazy weather ...

[MikeDunn]

Had about an hour of thunderstorms last night ... "so what", you may think, "so did I" ... well, right in the middle was at least 10 minutes of near-constant sheet lightening & continuous thunder !  Never had the likes of it before ...

And there's another front just come in - gone from a reasonable day to black (at noon !) in only  few minutes ...    Raining stair-rods again now ...

Summer ?  What summer

Even though the weather is being fickle it is good to know that the farmers have been able to get the bulk of harvesting done!

The thunder storms have missed us completely, unfortunately!

We had a couple of bursts of thunder/lightning last night before 22.00 but nothing like the corkers I remember as a lad when the houserolled up newspaper in septic tank used to shake as the thunder rolled across the sky and then crashed down on us.
It's not looking too clever at the moment, though...............

You were in a septic tank? Luxury. In our day we had to cling on to the inside of the U-bend.

Weather reasonably normal here, though there are two super typhoons lingering suspiciously to the south while deciding which part of the Orient to regale with wind and rain.

there are two super typhoons lingering

Are they better than normal typhoons ?  Wear their underwear on the outside or summat

Large storm front heading north stretching from Leeds to Manchester at the moment.

They cause you to wear your underwear on the outside.

Reminds me of many years ago, the wife and I were watching a tremendous thunder and lightening storm through the lounge window. After one enormous crack, the curtain pole landed on my head. Blimey, I thought , we've been hit. After composing myself, I discovered her in a quivering state on the floor - she had been so surprised by the last crash that she grabbed the curtain and in so doing pulled down the pole!!!!

Stair rods here too in "sunny?" Bournemouth, glad I got some milk yesterday, I ain't going out in this. It's already filled the bird bath again.

Had a light shower or two yesterday, but nowt like the weather up north or down south. Must be circling around the Midlands.

So...whilst much of the country has at least had some sun we've had RAIN. It started on Wednesday morning at first light and has rained ever since (except or a short while yesterday afternoon).

Don't be so negative Martin, it's tourist session, it's not Rain, it's CORNISH SUNSHINE! It's what we seem to get most Augusts' these past few years so as it is summer time it most be sunshine....

Tell her to get out of the bath and fetch the milk, then

No thunder but we've had monsoons in Peterborough this afternoon! Hope it dries up for the Beer Festival.

Will you be able to tell the difference between pre-railed-in beer & post-rained-in beer
