    Has anyone been brave enough to call next week yet? Longest day soon and then the days will shorten.:cray:

    I'm meant to be seeing in the solstice on a beach in Suffolk...but it's looking like it will be cloudy/possibly rainy Monday morning. 

    Not doubt the sun will come out and it will be glorious the minute we put the bags in the car to come home on Wednesday - so that's the forecast - it will be dull while I'm on holiday, then sunny after :wallbash::D

    Just about in the marginal zone today, will rig up the camera. Last few days have been a let down but we live in hope!

    Fear of thunder and lightning is has several names - brontophobia being one. I know this because my grandmother had it so bad. She used to turn the TV up loud, then hide in the under-stairs cupboard until the storm had passed. I had a phobia of it when I was little and couldn't bear to be alone during a storm, I'd wake the whole family up. It wqs strange really as I was a well-travelled, intrepid little tomboy, not really fearful so I don't know if the fear was innate or learned. It isn't normal asking your Dad if you can sleep inside a Faraday cage!!I still don't know if fear to T&S is nature or nurture. Surely we must be programmed to escape wide open spaces in a storm. It all changed a few years ago when me and my partner went to a county show. We encountered rain on the journey and parked miles away as the car park was full.  While walking over fields towards the arena, my partner turned to me and there was a look of horror on his face. 'What is happening to you hair?!' he said and snapped it on his phone to show me. I looked at the phone, my hair was stood upright with static. We were at least 2 minutes fast running time from the arena below....but we ran like hell!  Boom of thunder shortly afterwards left me shaking...but in a twisted way, addicted..Since then, I'd been addicted to the adrenaline rush of storms.

    I know I'll get ridiculed but....headaches, today and yesterday...I know it's a wives' tale but it sure is a co-incidence that with the storms comes the headaches.

    Something bubbly looking to my south, it's though the trees so not clear but something of interest.

    How nice was it falling asleep last night with the rumble of distant thunder (but all the while feeling jealous of those to the S/E taking a direct hit!)

    Sun has just come out.

    The Meh is above us but I can see glimmers of sun poking though. Trying to decipher rain risk for later as I will be outdoors all day, not easy.

    Does anyone else obsessively look at long term forecast once they book their holiday?  I'm off to coastal Suffolk in 3 weeks and just obsessively looking at long term forecast, even though thinks are subject to change several times...it's daft but I can't stop myself!!
