Clare with your wonderful organisational skills it'll go like clockwork.

Bloomin heck it's so miserable here!

[The Dogmother]

We've got the most fantastic storm this morning - right overhead - made me jump out of my skin! Lots of flooding in the town, but MUCH cooler now.

[Ruth]

Yes, here too! It's great to see the garden just soaking up the water

[Guest]

Good news for Sunday then Clare!

 

We're just very cloudy and dull here. Well the weather is, and maybe I am too!

[buffie]

I'm not dull today for a change but weather is poopy, oh as I typed that sun coming out!

 

Daisie upset tummy after too much nasty stuff and then the heat. Poor babe

 

Have a good one

It's still thundering around, but the rain has stopped for now. I htink that it'll be going on all day at this rate - Banbury is in a 'bowl' and weather sometimes seems to get stuck here!

 

Thanks Ginette - it's supposed to be fine on Sunday - fingers crossed

[Lesley]

We have just rumbly thunder but we did get a two and a half hour powercut! It took out all the local villages and both Shipston and Stratford. Kenilworth, where Carl is, was OK

 

Didn't it know I was in the forum catching up? - I've got no red arrows now and am having to trawl through last night and this morning's posts

[Nicola H]

We had lots of rain last night and this morning Emily's school is closed it got flooded at the weekend and now one of the flat roofs has collapsed under the weight of all the water so the school is closed until further notice, we could hear children all over Lymm cheering last night, and parents groaning...................

 

The whole village was flooded last night, rivers of water were running into the centre, we were OK because we live in the higher part of Lymm, phew............

[The Dogmother]

Glad to hear that you were ok Nicola. Rosie was hoping this morning that her school would be closed - that would be all I needed!

 

Got soaked just getting from the car into school this morning Luckily my skirt is thin, so it dried out at work.

[Cinnamon]

It is just beautiful here today - not too hot but sunny & a nice breeze.

 

Long may it last

[The Dogmother]

It's lovely here now too, cloudy but sunny with a cool breeze. I have a feeling that we haven't seen the last of those storms though

[Martin B]

It was awful at school today. Cricket match off!

First lesson: Lightning practically outside of the window, roof panels being sucked off by wind and power.

Second Lesson: Couldn't focus because of loud bangs, and shaking projector.

All other lesson: Raining.

 

Also the classroom my brother was in was hit by lightning and the radiator blew up!

[Lesley]

What an exciting day Martin

[Martin B]

First lesson was scary because I had a lesson on top floor!

[The Dogmother]

I went to open one of the windows at work, and was nearly knocked off my feet by a loud bang, which was very nearby. I understand that the fire service were out all over Banbury to lightening strikes

[Guest]

Clare, my husband has just told me he has been given a pink umbrella (! ) It made me think of you!

 

He was given a lastminute.com goodie bag on the way to work this morning. This is what it has in it:

It's got a copy of Happy magazine, with a free (pink) umbrella,

25 green tea bags, a bag of aquadrops, a sample self-tanning cream,

another of daily lip conditioner, a nut bar and a man's razor.

 

I'm looking forward to sampling some of those things!

[The Dogmother]

That sounds great Ginette I love goodie bags like that.

 

I've got a bright orange umbrella - for some reason the chaps at work never want to borrow it - they'd rather get wet I am sure that one of your girls will snap upthe pink one (that's if you don't)

[buffie]

Oh dear the egg inspector can't come as he has a flood ( he seems very nice and quite upset not to come), I don't know this weather is odd!!!

[Guest]

Anyone else having a thunder storm?

 

We've got huge really loud and long claps of thunder, bright flashes of lightning and torrential rain. The chickens are terrified and their tails are right down. Poor things!

[Eyren]

We had storms yesterday morning and evening - I think Migsy hid in the eglu, but with all the sunshading on the run, you can't see much from the house

 

The kittens were turned totally hyper by the weather, like kids after bingeing on sweets and fizzy drinks - they chased one another round the house at high speed until they eventually flopped from exhaustion

[Louise]

I really want some rain even if that means thunder my poor garden is dying

[The Dogmother]

Awww, bless those kittens

 

We had severe storms last night and a small one this morning. It is a lot cooler now, but still humid and showery.

 

The south coast was really hit bad early yesterday evening though.

[buffie]

my parents had a storm last night and we have had a rain shower but I can hear a rumble....No doubt power cut as I greet my next client I am ready for some rain...never thoguht I'd be dreaming about winter in summer but I am now

We seemed to have loads of rain last night, but the water butt is only half full

 

Last week, I was wishing for a sharp frost - not often I do that.
