We had thunder storms from 1am till and it was still rumbling at 5pm!! At one point I was counting from lightening (as you do) and didn't get to one so it was right over us. Loads of strikes all over and power lost to 16,000 round us, though we were really lucky. It was pretty scary when it was right above us and really loud!! I just kept repeating a story I heard on Balamory, that its like popcorn popping in the sky to try and calm down. Sad eh?! And at my age too!! :rotfl:

i had it here too
it went from the hottest day of the week to the coldest and stormiest
i was ready for a hot day, iced my drink, left my blazer at school, wore a skirt
lol it ended up being horrible
but i did enjoy the rain it was different

We went out and bought an 8ft paddling pool as my eldest had the day off today, just he could have fun in the garden and keep cool!! Thats probably why we had the thunder storm!! :lol:

It went from being very hot to being cold but I'm pleased that it wasn't so muggy yesterday.

It was nice to actually be able to go outside without being drenched. First time I'd set foot outside for nearly a week apart from taking Ciaran to pre-school!!!

we didnt really have it that bad, the rain in total only lasted for about 20mins at about 1.30 and there was a few bits of thunder but thats it, though after the rain it was still boiling. im really glad its cooler today though, yesterday i thought i was going to die when i was at school, it was so hot, we tried everything all the windows open but it didnt make any difference as there was no breeze, the school needs to invest in fans or air con!

The weathers nice again today. I've actually been out in the garden planting some new flowers for an hour.

at least the ground is nice and soft after all that rain!!! why did i decide to do all my washing at the weekend!!! i will never get it all dry!!!

I have a clothes horse thing in the front room dying some of my bits and bobs but it always takes forever. This weather is good for something - getting some stuff out on the line. I've been washing the bedding this weekend and it's murder waiting for it to try on the clothes maiden but if I stick it out on the line it gets lots of fresh air on it and drys faster.

i have got about 10 loads to do!!! line is full, airer is full,doors have got sheets all over them and the tumble is going round!!!! nightmare!!!
