Hi Sue :o)
It was forecast. Has the mugginess dropped now - it's really bad here - feels like hot flushes again!!
Have to keep asking my daughter how hot she is just to reassure myself!!!

A bit of rain so far but pretty hefty clouds building up :)

Maggie,

It's still quite humid to be honest. We still have windows/doors open. I have been putting the fan on in the bedroom for an hour before going to bed. It helps a bit.

d'you know Sue, I think it's only us Welsh who refer to people being bad meaning they're ill!!! no one else seems to do it - you know - she's been bad in bed for a week now!!!!

I make my children come off the games and computor when there is a thunder storm,, they laughed at me and complained and said I was making a fuss about nothing , next day there an article in the paper about a lad that was thrown across his bedroom by a lightning strike that travelled down the wire from his playstation to the hand controller..... they now do as I ask them xx

It's hit here in Conwy - overhead thunder and lashing rain. Street lights have gone off, candles lit just in case.

Switching pc off for a while.

Pleasant here in this part of South Yorks, warm but, for once, not humid

saying "bad" for "ill" is a very Welsh thing Sue, we all say it without thinking

Well that was surreal, just had to pop out and all the way down the road was steaming, like mist coming off of it...
