Never-the=les, it was a jolly pleasant day once the grunge had cleared, and it is a beautiful evening out there, just right for a spot of courting. Any Offers? Oh to be young again!! Good night peeps.

False alarm - again. Just like the snow, Reading misses out on the thunder!

I seem to remember a time when Th. Storms got trapped in the thames valley and roll olong it and back. Or so 'they' reckoned. A few years ago we had an all nighter when the lightening never seemed to stop. I reckorded a lot of in on my old annalogue camcorder
Les

02 Jul 2009 21:37

Batten down the hatches - multiple storms coming to the SE from France (I'm counting 4 - one's got to hit us, right?)
chris

02 Jul 2009 09:45

Now now Lady Pi, keep your imagination under control! Good morning roasted Peeps, be sure to keep you cool today.

OOoh! Les! You ARE bold! Where's that fan! I need something to cool my blushes !! :))

No Lady Pi, I didn't melt. Just slept in the raw on the bed without covers! Well, don't blame me, you asked!

Oh well, I dare say that we will get one sooner or later. Good night everyone.
Les

30 Jun 2009 15:21

I do mean that kind - but it looks like it might just miss us to the West. Storms (just like snow) always seem to miss us :(
chris

30 Jun 2009 14:24

Do you mean a real flash, bang wallop splosh splosh clear t6he air of a storm Chris? Oh goody, we havn't had one of those for ages. (Sorry Marie)
Les

30 Jun 2009 14:06

Might be a big storm on it's way - I'm tracking a large mass of cloud/rain which has slowly crossed the channel. Now sitting over the IoW and heading straight for us...
chris

30 Jun 2009 09:47

It wasn't the warmth that kept me awake :(

Perhaps he though that it was a Specsavers and was intent on getting his revenge!
Les

29 Jun 2009 15:28

On the other hand - maybe he HAD been to Specsavers (from my experience!)
piwacket

29 Jun 2009 10:42

Did you read about the bloke who drove his car into the front of an Optician's Shop? I guess that he should have gone to Specsavers! They are missing a chance if they don't use that in their advertising campaign.
