    Pretty nice morning here now after the CRAZY thunderstorms last night, which lasted for nearly two hours, creating a bonkers sound and light show!!

    The garden's had a damn good soaking for sure! But MUCH fresher now (for the moment anyway, as it's set to get warmer later), currently 22C. Still a pretty muggy, stuffy night in the house though (after I had to shut the doors to keep the cats in), as is the norm after the walls have been baking in 30C+ heat all day, but it'll cool down in a couple of days, as long as the temps don't get above 25C.

    Just enjoying my morning cappuccino and croissant, outside in the pleasant sunshine

    Still a warm night, a little cooler, although not the difference i thought we'd get. It's still sunny and warm this morning, the rain hasnt arrived yet but is supposed to when the temp is forecast to drop to a more comfortable level

    Still no rain in this area. Maybe tonight or tomorrow. Water butts nearly empty, in fact I cleaned one the other day, no rain for the last 19 days. Feels a bit fresher today but is getting hot again, maybe 27C soon.

    Hot and sunny here - not as humid, so I will have a go at cutting the grass (well, dried out remains of grass and daisies )

    Half the sky to the south has gone very dark and there are distant rumbles of thunder. It all looks headed this way, so maybe it'll cool things down. It's been getting hot.

    Had a gentle smattering of rain about an hour ago and it’s gone very dark but that’s about it so far.

    Hope it does come, as I’m intending to give the Rangey a wash at the weekend and a torrential downpour does a great job as a handy pre-wash!

    Bingo ! Been grey and cloudy and just started raining a little .....

    Actually, a few drops came down for barely a minute - ground dry. Can only think the proper rain will come later

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Still raining here thank goodness. House is still very warm from retained heat though.
