Afternoon all !!   well the sun shone for abit disappearing  now , the other half was cold so he put the blooming  heating on its like a sweedish sauna in here thankfully no dangling bits on display . Anyway I got so hot I opened the back door to get fresh air my resident pigeon was sat there he whipped out a towel and his sunglasses think he thought he was in the Mediterranean with the heat that blasted out of door .

What a beautiful day , summoned up some energy to cut one section  of the lawn.  Little bit of weeding  saw two butterflies   three ladybirds and lots of snails running for shade .  My friendly Robin was watching me the whole time from the washing line waiting for me to move so he could swoop in on unexpected worms and bugs that I was disturbing.  Tomorrow I hoping to get the hill done while the other half is about just in case I go  a**e  over  t*t .

Ok fork lightning then a very loud crack made me jump as I was looking out of window . Set our car alarm off .

[South West and Central Southern England Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Thunder really close by now some very aggressive sounding bangs .  

[South West and Central Southern England Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Can hear decent rumbles of thunder in distance. 

[South West and Central Southern England Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Just boring old rain here .  Only heard  one big rumble of thunder earlier. 

[South West and Central Southern England Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Heard a really loud bang . Thought I was going to have to bend over and kiss my a** goodbye

Didn't  realise  thunder was lurking.

I think I'll stay in here for the rest of the evening. A few in the isha thread have ruined it.

Apparently, you're condemned if  you share thoughts/observations about weather events in your location.

Don't blame you , definitely  didn't deserve it in my opinion.  I'm staying in here too now the other one was starting to irritate me.

*Stormforce-beka*   have you tied the chickens down ?. 

[South West and Central Southern England Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Just woken up to 11c  and wow everyone under an Amber warning.  Messaged my daughters (Exeter & Port Solent)   telling them to stay in tonight.  Eldest has to drive from Port Solent to Porton for work early tomorrow morning.  

Anxiety is on the rise for me,  going to do one more check in garden to make sure everything  is battened down . 

[South West and Central Southern England Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

4c here . Been out in garden  this afternoon ground still frosty under foot made the most of it before it turns back to horrible  rain again.

Been trying to keep track of Isha  think things could get interesting  for some tomorrow  night / Monday morning.
