Evening all. Sorry not been around as much lately, actually at all. So much to do and very little time so not been allowing myself forum reading time or I'd have got nothing done.

House isn't too bad, assignments so far in on time but more due all the time. Garden is getting there. Meetings nuts. Kids appointments left right and centre inc tomorrow. Oh yes and cooking on gas mark 7 in this horrid heat, pleased in a way we have rain forecast!

Hope everyone is ok x x x x

Soappie I had a look at that thunderstorm site you posted the link to. Its quite interesting.

I am currently gripped. It is showing storms all over the north of France but none here! I have the audio alert set to "tell me when there's a lightning strike within 25 miles" and it's going off occasionally but not as often as I need it to be. Seems, at the moment, there are a couple of storms tracking across France but nothing here

FFP if you can cope with the chaos that is my home you're welcome to come to the south coast for a couple of days to recharge your energy anytime xxx

It's still incredibly muggy here, so when I get back I think I'll have a shower and get myself ready for tomorrow morning's gym session. !

See above quote to Boddy!


I started this a while ago then DD came round so I'll post this then check the rest

Toots - your list is horrendous. Maybe I really do need to sort out the SHUNT thing and visit and reduce it for you - you're supposed to be taking it easy!

Not a whiff of any sferics here tonight so I'm off to bed to toss and turn in the heat and humidity which is the South Coast this evening.

Night all - sleep well
