:-0 :-0 :-D :-D <3 :-D :-D <3 :-D :-D :-D :-D

Well we've had an humdinger of a storm....lasted 3-4 hours :-0 :-0. Where did that come from I'm sure it wasn't forecast :-0 :-0
According to my weather radar app it looks like it is going to stop raining soon so as I'm wide awake I might as well take Ralphie out shortly :-0

Hugs for them that need em <3 <3

Morning Belle :-) <3

Sorry that you've had little sleep, but going out early might be a great idea.

It's really dull here, after overnight rain.
If there was a storm, I didn't hear it, but it is so strange to wake up to no sunshine.
Temperatures are set to soar later, so I will be indoors trying to keep cool for much of the day.

Take care everyone. Stay safe <3

Morning Belle and Gwyn :-D <3 <3

We had an electric storm last night. What a cracker. The thunder was rolling and the lightening was forking across the skyline :-0 :-0

I jumped out of bed to shut the window and watched it for a few minutes. :-)

Dry now, and will be going out before it gets too warm.

Have a good day Everyone, stay cool <3

Morning Gwyn & Maddie <3 <3 :-D :-D

We had torrential rain too, so much for the light rain forecast :-0. On the plus side I won't need to top the pond up :-D

Stay cool everyone <3

Another lovely morning here.

Enjoyed yesterday very much. I have one piece of cake left as I had quite a few visitors when I came back from lunch with my bestie. I shall enjoy that this afternoon.

Thank you Belle and Ralphie :-D <3

Thank you Fly :-D <3

Off out shortly to do my bit. It will be cool where I am this morning

Whatever you do Girls, stay safe. If it gets too hot for you, take a stroll around your nearest air-conditioned mall or head off to the flicks,

Enjoy your day and, in the words of wossisname, ‘ I’ll be back.’ (I hope I will, anyway.)

:-D <3

Good morning all :-D <3

Yes it certainly was some storm with torrential rain. :-0 ;-)

A COT was certainly the order of the day in the early hours of the morning.

We of course were on flood alert but luckily all is well ;-)

Stay safe and cool everyone <3

It's a lovely sunny day here but I think it will get too hot for me later.

Glad you enjoyed your birthday Joy <3

Glad it was good news at the hospital Gwyn and they didn't keep you hanging about for too long. <3

Have a good day.

Afternoon everyone :-) <3

Thank you all for your kind thoughts re. my hospital update <3 :-D

Von, I hope the weather is not too severe to provoke floods :-0 :-0 I hope it doesn't spoil your soft fruits either.
Daughter tells me we did have a thunderstorm, so I must have slept through it.

Kath, These Tuesdays seem to come round quickly, but how great to meet up with your friends again.
I hope the weather is not too hot for you to enjoy your rollator on other days. It sounds as if is going to be a great help to you <3

Glad you had an enjoyable day Joy... and still have some cake !

I was up putting the rubbish bin out for collection early, as the council website said that during this hot weather, the men would be starting their rounds earlier trying to avoid some of the heat.
While out there, I did collect a couple of handfuls of weeds, which were so much easier to pull up, after the rain :-)
At least I did something bright and early, before we wilt further :-0
