Just this week they've upgraded my road's street lights to LEDS.
First thought obviously was how much easier it's going to be a lamp post watch... they are much brighter.
Managed to avoid the rain with a well timed walk. There hasn't been too much here today, most of the showers just passing by but I think it might properly rain here in SWF soon.
I've been sitting in the sunshine hearing the distant rumbles and watching the clouds just graze pass my town.
But now it's raining and looks like we are now in the pathway of a storm.
I'm really enjoying this rain. I wish I had one of those gazebos with a proper roof so I can get on with my work outside!
And I realised of course it's a wet weekend, Download festival is back.
Things are getting back to normal when festival goers are knee deep in mud.
The numbers are deceptive, apparently it's 21 here in South Woodham but it feels so much warmer, even though it was nearly 29 yesterday.
I've been sitting in the garden working the past few days.
