Oh dear - I hope you're not sending it northwards to Kent, though it seems we now have to expect rain tonight, and tomorrow.

I jolly well hope we don't get LVER's thunderstorm tomorrow. I'm off to an open air concert tomorrow night and the forcast isn't exactly great at the moment as it is. It seems very unfair after ten days or so of very hot weather.

Yes, I, too, have 'happy' memories of open-air plays and concerts in southern England....

I'm going a friend whose over from Australia. I have very clear memories of the two us spending the day in the rain at a concert at the Crystal Palace in the 1970s, telling each other it would clear up soon. As it was we went home just before the main act (Eric Clapton?) came on as we couldn't stand it any longer. I have a feeling it could be jsut like old times.

When I took the dogs this morning there was a group of kids with their teacher, they were only about five years old and clearly out to the woods and the lake for the day. It was bucketing down. They had a rigged up shelter and the teacher was making the most of it, singing 'camp fire' songs with them etc.
I felt really sorry for them as yesterday was glorious ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)

Hey, some of us like thunderstorms. I've worked out how to get good pictures of the lightning via the video set up on the DSLR. It's fascinating to look at the individual frames and see how the strokes develop.
But it doesn't look as if anything big is building up hereabouts.

I like a good thunderstorm if (a) it clears the air properly after muggy weather; and (b) I'm watching it from indoors.
It's apparently 27° today, but because the humidity is only 41%, it doesn't feel quite so oppressive as it did yesterday.
Having some leftover bread that had been allowed to get a bit hard, I put some of it out on the deck-rail for the birdies, and then we took the rest and gave it to some deserving ducks. Mind you, they weren't quite as interested as they might have been; I suspect someone else had already been there before us.
The Horrid Wee Beasties™ are beginning to take chunks out of me again; I got two v. nasty bites yesterday and, having taken an anti-histamine tablet before going to bed, slept (with only a couple of short breaks) for the best part of 10 hours.

Here we are 6 weeks into official monsoon season and the meteorological people are already telling us that we are 20% down on what the rainfall should have been by this time of year.
We have had Drought 2016-7 and now we just wait for Drought 2017-8!

Well, I think we've got just a small segment of your monsoon over here. It's been raining steadily for hours, and is forecast to do so for even more hours.
Which is all very well, except that the rain is coming in through the Episcopal Palace roof somewhere, and falling onto the Episcopal Bed.

You're going to need to call in the Episcopal Thatcher ... ![[Devil]](graemlins/devil.gif)
No rain here yet (currently 26° with a bit of a breeze), although they're forecasting a chance of showers on Thursday - along with a temperature of 17°. ![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif)
Back up to the mid-20s after that though ...

Much of the day was spent at our local teaching hospital where I went to discuss my Peripheral [left foot] Oedema and was given a couple of blood work-ups and then ultrasound scans of my left leg and foot and then my abdominal region - the last showed that I am, as I hoped, definitely NOT pregnant.
The end results are that I am actually quite healthy except that I have this swollen left foot so a few words of advice from the medico and a little mild medication - only mild as I am already on a fair bit of medication for my eye-problem and so he doesn't want to try anything dramatic.
I like Drs who don't over-prescribe!
Go back in about a month meanwhile watch and observe and report back when the time comes.

Well last night was just like old times. After being rained on for three solid hours my friend and I went home before the main act. A,real shame as friend is a big fan . She stayed over and we went into London today to see the Alma Tadema exhibition at Leighton house and sat in the lovely garden there afterwards while the sun shone on us. It seemed jolly unfair.
Good to hear doctors are taking good care of you WW and BF, I hope that roof gets fixed pronto.

Donald Trump has arrived in Paris (creating traffic chaos at least as bigly as Vladimir Putin) and I am leaving the country. Joking: actually we were going to be leaving the country anyway.
14th July very conveniently falls on a Friday this year, giving us all a long weekend. We are making the most of a special offer on the train to go to Cologne. I love central Europe.

I'm sure the Paris police take great pleasure in this: all that is necessary is to put "Diversion" signs round the entire Bd Peripheque then direct everyone anti-clockwise.
Travelling on 14th July isn't a bad idea. Most of France will be glued to the box, watching the Tour.

Just beware of any signs of raven departure, though. (They must surely have more sense than to stay around if You-know-who arrives arrives in town ... and then what would happen?)

Doesn't he sort it out by taking it off at night?
It's a beautiful day here: 20°, no Humidex ( ) and sunshine. Sadly, for tomorrow it looks as if the weather gods are suddenly going to remember it's July ... ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
We went back to Sam Snead's last night for their steak special thingy, and v. good it was too - I had the 12 oz rib-eye and it was absolutely delicious.
We did have rather a long wait to be served; the waitress came with glasses of water and then seemed to have forgotten that we were there, but once she remembered, the service was very quick. As they were rather busy (there was some sort of function going on in the next room) we gave them the benefit of the doubt - it certainly won't stop us from going back.

We went to a concert in Cardiff last night, at the St. David's Hall. I think there was a concert by some group called Coldplay at the Principality Stadium at the same time ...
OURS was the Spooky Men's Chorale, and very good it was too.

We were at two separate concerts today (and D. wasn't performing in either of them)!
The first was a group of students from a French Canadian summer school who were doing the Music at the Cathedral concert at lunchtime (v. nice), and the second was an organ recital given by some members of the local Organists' Association (but not D.) in Woodstock (a town about an hour's drive from Château Piglet).
At least - it should have been about an hour's drive, but we got lost (why doesn't Woodstock Road lead to Woodstock?) so we had to double back on ourselves and only caught the second half ... ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif)

Congratulations to you and Mr Boog and I hope you enjoy the birthday bash. I can't bear surprises either. I've suffered two significant ones of this nature - a surprise whisking-away-for-the-weekend for an anniversary years ago when our kids were small and, in more recent years, an early evening birthday meal with Mr Nen and a return home to find the house full of friends and the classic "surprise!" cheer. On both occasions I felt I had hidden my horror quite well but as neither event has been repeated I may be deceiving myself.
Life and work seem to have been full on lately and I am sorry to have been rather absent.
There is Much Decorating chez Nen - we have for the past three months been living in the dining room while we decorate the lounge (and very nice it looks) and now we are living in the lounge while we decorate the dining room. I'm hoping that isn't going to take another three months.
Meanwhile I'm planning to make a tray of my famous chocolate flapjack this afternoon and may need help with the quality testing.

Last night's concert was fun, campfire, bar and folk. I booked to see Leon Rosselson whose music I've known and loved for forty odd years. He was performing aged 83, only stopped recording a couple of years ago. That site is worth clicking on to as it features his song Palaces of Gold written in the wake of the Aberfan disaster but painfully, soberingly apposite in the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire.

I'll be right over.
I've been a busy piglet today - we had a couple of friends round for supper, so the day was spent making bread, going to the Farmers' Market for cheese and cooking (roast lamb, gratin dauphinois, carrots and peas). We also had bacon,lentil and tomato soup (which I made yesterday) and strawberries and cream (well, Wimbledon hasn't finished yet, so they're still in season). Also, D. had a brainwave while in the off-licence so we started off with Pimm's - what could be more appropriate for a nice summer evening?
Jolly time had by all, and I think they enjoyed the food. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

We're heading out of town tomorrow for an overnight stay with friends at their cottage, which is also going to involve a boat trip on the lake - should be rather fun.
We're looking forward to it, but there may be Issues: it's forecast to be 30° and feeling like 35; and I suspect the Horrid Wee Beasties™ will be sharpening their forks and knives (and teeth).
Midgie-repellent and anti-bite cream have been procured ...

Just had a fantastic display of lightning lasting about an hour! Lightningmaps.org was overwhelmed and is blaming Java for going blank, but there were multiple strikes all around NW Kent. Not like the measly single strike the last time. Video'd a lot from the safety of my living room French window, but don't know how well I have done until I've looked through the files tomorrow.

Thank you.
Mollie is nine months old now. She is going to become a Guide Dog mummy if she passes all her tests. So far she has passed conformation, temperament, behaviour and eye tests and had all her internal organs scanned - all plumbing in order. She will have x-rays when she's 11 months old to check her bones are healthy and strong.
If she passes then she'll be off to live permanently with someone with the dubious title 'Brood Bitch Holder'. She will live and have the pups in their home. I hope to be able to puppy walk one of hers (a grandpup )
If you look at my blogs you'll see photos of her.

Those of you with a few minutes to spare may appreciate the obituary of Wesley Carr in today's Times. ![[Snigger]](graemlins/snigger.gif)

Well, thank you. Old history now, it seems.

There were several British organists (D. included) who fell foul of their deans in the late 1990s/early 2000s; it seemed as if a rash of clergy of a somewhat autocratic nature had all reached that level of seniority at the same time.
I don't know all the ins and outs of the Wesley Carr/Martin Neary case, but having met Mr. Neary, I'd be surprised if he was guilty of what he was accused of - he seemed too otherworldly (and too much of a gentleman).

Our three storey town house has a design fault which we discovered five years ago when we moved in prior to going to Kenya.
Sadly, the absent minded professor aka MrBeaky forgot to close the top floor back bedroom window on Tuesday night.
Cue the storm of biblical proportions which resulted in our spare bedroom being flooded and the water coming through the ceiling and dripping onto our bed at 1.30 am
I was due up at 6.00 am to go and teach and had arrived home at 10.00 pm with a migraine from a tricky day with daughter and grandson who is not so good at the moment.
Needless to say the air was blue
Still our pretty little walled garden loved the rain!
