You can have some of my sun I've had enough already and its not summer months yet. Its been around 30 c with a hot wind blowing from Morrocco, just like a giant hairdrier. :wah:

arghh we are already getting weather we usually have in July. Last night we had one of those summer storms that produces lots of sky to ground lightening. Well one struck really close to my backyard and the boom of thunder that followed had me on the ground. :wah:

You just learn to stay away from windows during storms like that. But they are pretty amazing to watch when they are on the horizen.

If it makes you feel any better it's tipping down here too, although it has been dry for most of today.

It's been raining non-stop up here too. Although the sun popped out just before it went down. Then it rained some more.

Cannot help here..we have been getting rain cold and wind here for the past several days. Miserable.

Yay! It's been raining all day but now the sun has come out. :-6

It was a rough night with the sea pounding our prom, my bed shook all night.

It's blowing a gale at the moment. No sun forecast until Friday....Hope it's better for the bank holiday weekend.

This bad weather appears to be with us until at least the end of the week. Fingers crossed it gets better for half term too!

1pm: Water down by the quayside turned bright red. Really wasn't expecting that......... must be a promotional gimmick or something like that...

1.20pm: Absolutely knee-deep in frogs. Actually, it's quite tricky to judge just how deep they are, as they keep hopping about.

1.40pm: Itching terribly. Seem to have a bad does of fleas. I'll kill that neigbours cat when I get home.

2pm: Must speak to the building manager. Place swarming with flies. Now that can't be hygienic, surely?

2.20pm: On second thoughts I don't need to worry about the cat when I get home. All the ones round here seem to be dropping like those flies we had earlier.

2.40pm: Must be allergic to those flea bites. I've come up in some wicked-looking boils. I knew I shouldn't have thrown out that half tube of savlon cream. Bollocks !!

3pm: Glad I'm indoors, really. Hailstones the size of golfballs out there at the moment.

3.20pm: This is getting ridiculous. Locusts? In May?

3.30pm: Oh sh*t , I'm the first born in our family :-2

:yh_rotfl :yh_rotfl you should really quit reading the tabloids.

It's been like that here. Looks like it might be one of those summers that starts late and ends late, which means october could be warm...hope so :-6

That probably means no snow until next April.
