    Almighty thunderstorm here in the early hours too. Not seen anything like it for years. Hoping it would clear the air but it didn't. Years ago our house was hit by lightening it was awful the noise was horrendous and everyone froze. It caught the TV aerial and set fire to the carpet :eek: Where I live is extremely hilly and this is a consequence unfortunately of living at the top of a hill.
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)

    Phew glad the sketchers lived to see another day. At least you had a good drying day.
    I tossed and turned all night but must have slept through the storms - I saw the rain as I stood with my head out of the window at one stage. Maybe I didn’t hear the thunder as I’d taken my hearing aids out....neighbours reported it was a real guddun....I love watching lightning so I’m gutted.

    Waving ......... too hot for me in the London suburbs

    Add helicopters to thunder and lightening for those who decide to take the chance on river swimming - we have rip currents :eek::o:(
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It
