Not always. There are times I've wanted a thunderstorm and got one, only to find it was a dry thunderstorm; no rain at all. Better to have a proper downpour along with it...
Virga sounds like something from Ecclesiantics, and Google thought I was looking for little blue pills ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) , but it is actually precipitation that evaporates before it hits the ground. We frequently see it around here where the air is so hot and dry.

Well, Sipech is right, of course, and A Proper English Thunderstorm should consist of rain as well as the noise and pyrotechnics.
Sometimes, we just get the rumbles and flashes, but I doubt if it ever gets quite hot enough here to produce Virga...

Yesterday was just a warm-up (no pun intended) for today when we are expecting 36°. This is the tipping point which gets out of liveable into highly unpleasant territory. The worst thing is getting on the public transport at about 6 pm when the carriage is packed, people stink and if you’re really lucky, someone passes out, whether from the heat or the smell I’m not sure ![[Biased]](wink.gif) .
Top cooling drink: stick a jug of water in the fridge with a large bunch of mint in it. If you’re feeling particularly posh add a load of rose petals (if supermarket flowers, wash them thoroughly first to get the pesticides off). Rose takes a bit longer to infuse than mint.

My son cycled 206 miles from Heidelberg to somewhere in France yesterday ( miles not Km!) yesterday. Today he's doing 100+ miles to Bruges where he'll stay overnight, then the ferry to Hull, then over the Pennines home.
Will he make it without heatstroke? We'll see.

Can you still smoke on Le Metro? I can remember the smell of sweat, garlic and Gauloises from my last visit to Paris 35 years ago!

As you all know I am spoilt completely rotten - I have no complaints at all.
![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Yesterday, after a rather lovely luncheon Himself brought me a dish of freshly peeled and diced fresh mango [Neelam, my favourite variety] with a large scoop of a rather nice vanilla ice cream. It was completely splendid.
![[Cool]](cool.gif)
I LIKE being spoilt!
...and I'm old enough that it will have no negative effects.

Whereas no one here is heading outside unless they strictly have to for the purposes of avoiding heat exhaustion. 37° yesterday and oh yippee today we also have a pollution spike. It should start cooling down from tomorrow on and then we might all get some sleep. True story: all the windows are open. Neighbours are yelling at 1:00 am in a language we don’t understand. Me: they’re having a blazing row. Husband en rouge: No, they’re just animated and talking loud. Some time later the police turn up. Next morning the concierge of the building informs us that they were threatening each other with knives .
This weekend we are heading to London for a bit of family reunion (my brother is over from the US and my parents are also coming down for the day) and it is going to be much cooler. On Sunday afternoon we are going to Fortnum’s for tea, posh like.

Normally I only buy fresh mango at this time of the year because imported Indian/Pakistani fruit is available from market stalls (in boxes of 4 surrounded by shredded tissue paper - I have no idea why, they just are), but they've been conspicuous by their absence this year. Sainsbury's have had a sale on Brazilian mangoes which are usually rock-hard until they're black, but I've bought several now and their pretty good (for something that's been shipped 1000s of miles).
ION, I'm so glad it's cooled down today. I'm at a work thing and it's not weather to be concentrating.

Yes, fresher today here, too. The thunderstorm this morning, however, (after doom-laden forecasts, and weather warnings) consisted of just 3 rumbles, 1 flash, and about 3 minutes' worth of rain.

I was thinking last night that it can actually be improved with the addition of a [not too large] spoonful of Mascarpone cheese - I haven't tried it this year as I have deliberately not bought any Mascarpone as it is just too delicious and far too damaging to my arteries - they only sell 500 gram tubs here which is just too tempting for my gluttony.

Does Mascarpone count as cheese? It's less cheesy than Philadelphia, which needs to be described as cheese for anyone to realise that it is cheese.

I'm only going by what it says on the tub - made from double cream and lemon juice [and other stuff?] so it is curd based.

According to the websites, mascarpone is a soft Italian curd cheese. I think it tastes like a slightly sharp cream and as I am not a fan of cream, it is not high on my list of preferred foods. I dislike cream so much I will substitute soya cream into recipes and the thought of spoiling good fruit by pouring cream over it is a Bad Idea™ in my book.
Mango, however, is much loved and I have been eating the cheap mangoes I've found, sliced off the stone, over the sink if they are very juicy. Eating it with ice cream does not appeal. Mango sorbet, however, is a different temptation entirely.

It's a few years since we had the ice cream machine out of the cupboard but I may mention Mango Sorbet to The Management and see what reaction I get - it is a complete doddle to make and is surely of the Gods! Adding a squirt or two of lemon juice adds so much to it as well.

I have been eating my first cherries, locally sourced, over the last two days. From an orchard just off the A2 if anyone's interested, they produce a sequence of varieties over the season, mostly dark coloured. I can get through a pound a day (minus the ones that go off before they reach the mouth).

Hello all - I'm back.
I had a Seriously Good Time™ over the Pond, and especially enjoyed the bits of the St. Magnus Festival that my sister and I managed to get to. I'd forgotten how dark it doesn't get in Orkney at this time of year - at one point I was heading off to bed at about one in the morning, and there were still patches of light in the sky. I love Northerly Places™.
One of the Festival events was a locally-produced opera in the Cathedral telling the story of St. Magnus (whose martyrdom happened 900 years ago this year). Although we could see practically nothing (by the time the tickets went on sale to the general public, the only seats available were in the side-aisles), we could hear, and what we heard was very excellent indeed. It finished with the cast (monks, Vikings, pilgrims etc.) processing round the church carrying what purported to be St. Magnus's casket, and singing the 12th-century Hymn to St. Magnus (it should be much slower than in the link) and it really was one of the most moving things I've ever seen - there were tears streaming down the porcine cheeks!
Other concerts (also v.v. good) featured the Norwegian Radio Orchestra with the local Festival Chorus; and a group of singers from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
There was also rather a lot of eating, including the best fish & chips in the world, Orkney patties and some v. good raspberry sorbet.
Fortunately the heatwave only got further north than Hadrian's Wall while we were in Orkney, although it finished with quite a good thunderstorm in Edinburgh the day after we got back there.
Back to old clothes and porridge* now ...

Penny S, I'm so jealous. It's almost easier in these parts to find a decent mango than home-grown cherries. I'm having cherries now, but they're out of a bottle (with added kirsch, won at a raffle).

I'm pretty sure getting between pigeons and food is never a good idea.
My Dad does have a tree in his garden, but it's a not-very-established patio tree and you'd be lucky to get a half dozen fruit.

The farm is not doing well this year, though. They lost all of the first crop, Early Rivers, were closed between Wednesday and Saturday last week, and are closed again until Wednesday. Very frustrating for them as well as the people who drive out to find the gate shut.
I think that we are at the edge of the range where cherries are comfortable growing - the Hereford fruit area is further north but still within range. It applies to apples as well. Apparently this means that we get good quality fruit, but it is more susceptible to weather problems.

I was in London this weekend. I think I have found the nicest hotel in the whole place. It belongs to the university but they have one section (four adjoining Victorian houses) they have turned into a four-star hotel for the general public. For some reason (presumably they were overbooked) we got upgraded to a suite. I swear it was bigger than our apartment – bedroom, bathroom and a living room big enough for three sofas and a dining table for four people, all in very charming tasteful traditional British style. It overlooks a huge garden and it’s so quiet. You’d never imagine you were twenty minutes’ walk away from the West End. This is going to be our go-to for all future London trips (although they presumably won’t give us the suite next time).
Most of the weekend involved eating. We started with lunch at the Tate Britain with my parents and brother and sister-in-law, and I can report that the restaurant is most excellent. On Sunday morning English breakfast was eaten and then we went for afternoon tea at Fortnum’s. It was very tasty and rather huge. (Also Piccadilly is the mostly stupidly numbered street in the world. The numbers go from 1-150 on one side and 151-230 on the other. Also if you put it in your GPS you end up at completely the wrong spot. What is that all about?)

Me too! I am going to England, but not to London, this year. But I think I'm due for a London stay again in 2018, and the place I've stayed the last two times has gone a bit downhill. (If you don't want to post it here, please send me a pm.)
