Rain seems to be moving up the country - it was bucketing here when I woke up, now is merely grey and cloudy.

After endless rain and strong winds of the past two days the weather is now doing ... nothing, which is fine by me. When the rain was at its heaviest yesterday I found one hideously fat, black slug <yuck> and four only slightly less obese ones on the kitchen floor. What were they doing? Sheltering from the rain?  |

Slugs sometimes get into my house, Mort - and frogs! They can give you quite a shock.

The frogs here seem quite content to hide behind the flower pots or even in the empty ones if there's rainwater in them. But slugs/snails have no boundaries, they even come in via the letterbox!   |

I know they say that lightning never strikes twice , but I'm not taking any chances Quite right too: the lightning doesn't have to strike in the same place again to fry your new computer! |

From the Met Office just now. "There is a moderate risk of a severe weather event affecting parts of England and Wales. Areas of heavy rain and thunderstorms are likely to give accumulations in excess of 25 mm, and potentially in excess of 50 mm locally"
I love that phrase "A severe weather event" !! We've had a dry day, dull and really, really cold. My local river is rapidly creeping up to the top of the bank as all the rain makes its way down from the mountains.
Silly me went out today and left the computer plugged in and on stand by! <shriek> It will be unplugged and modem and telephone disconnected tonight.

Surely I can't have been the only one to have been woken up by the thunder during the night? Here there were two huge thunder(claps), though it's always far more than a clap if you ask me, the sort that for the first five seconds or so doesn't seem too bad, and then it suddenly lowers in pitch and the walls shake!!! All very exciting. Didn't see any lightning at all.

Eru, didn't hear anything in Norf Lunnun. My first thought this morning was 'What happened to that storm then?'. Mind you, it's now gone awfully quiet, still and rather dark. Hope it doesn't happens. I hate storms |

I think we had a storm last night, according to my wife, roundabout 1am.

Interesting - we just had one solitary huge bang of thunder just after some lightning woke me up, then pretty much nothing. Although it did absolutely hammer it down from about 4am onwards. My petunias are a bit flat.  |
