I noticed a thundery looking sky just before it got dark (had that grey blueness about it) and maybe saw 4 odd flashes from where i was later. Had a peek on the radar and couldn't see any storms coming to me . That was it, apart from a strong breeze and the fact it went quite cool quick.

wasn't till we were in bed watching telly i noticed some flashing to my south. Missed us by miles but at least nice to see some lightning. Had quite the breeze with it too.

Bedford doing me proud again.

yeah. Oh well year is young. We get at least ONE decent display don't we? At least you have somewhere where close to watch anything

hey Toast! yet again we miss out.

Currently out back. Was like this earlier, but it all disappeared. Sun pretty much gone in now.

lovely pics! hope you are ok too!

yes having a bedroom hitting 25c is wonderful.

21.5 London area.

Just wind here. Its been windy here for 12345678 years now.

probably will get the snow now. We had a frost this morning. TBH I don't want it to snow.

Finally, I can relax a bit more.

our boy Boris is late.

They are late, we got our tax bill today.

well IF i get the nod, my little darling will be following a 'normal' routine like she has at school so she can do the work they set.

our school has just confirmed there are families in the village self -isolating and home school packs will be available in 48hrs. They have been planning for shut down by Friday (hubby is a governor, so i'm more in the loop). we also have been told my daughters 3 day school trip has been postponed till next September. They are planning to stay open as long as possible, but have told NHS workers with child care issues to contact them.

Can I too echo, how extremely sorry I am to hear about some of your circumstances on here. In my case, anxiety is very, very selfish. I mainly get it with a pre-existing condition which makes any travel difficult, and sometimes i have to cancel plans. This in turn help- at least- with these anxiety feelings and it goes away. You have relief. Now there is no relief, no where to go and nothing to make the feeling go away. Telling people not to look at the news as much, for example, only numbs it a little, with my anxiety you constantly need to know whats going on, my point is just knowing about it is enough. You also get other feelings, i'm reaching out to friends and family and it's helping, along with some internet friends and it does help, but you also feel as if you need to do something, something to help- constantly. I am even feeling comfort in just seeing people around. That although I'm blessed with a husband who has been an absolute rock and my daughter who brings me no end of joy, you also can feel very lonely. It's not something that you can just switch off, believe me I wish I could. It is always there. Yet me again extend my sincere apologises - I hope everyone is safe and well.

Thank you for your kinds words.

Should be expelled, but maybe thats the idea?

Asked about closing schools and he just mumbled into his desk. You know what i did before school today. I went upstairs and had a little cry. I feel like i am leading my daughter to slaughter.

I actually hope if things get to lock down then people do find some spirit and say play music or just generally communicate. Just so some people don't feel quite so lonely.

I just want the choice if my daughter goes in or not. Even if people don't agree with me.

of course. Us Brits need something else to talk about!

started off sunny and not too chilly but now cloudy.
