Anyone else got thunderstorms at the moment? Got a HUGE one going on here. One clap of thunder was so loud my cat went from the sofa to under the bath in one leap:D

Great hailstones, too:smt003

Nope, nothing. Not even rain, which was forecast. So it was hot in my exam hall today :(

Lots of big, black clouds floating around overhead, but no thunder (yet at least...)

I love thunderstorms!! And we don't seem to see too many of them over Surbiton.

Still- they were promised all over the U of K at the end of this week- so I'm still holding out!!

I rode through a thunderstorm a couple of years back. I was riding down the M5 in torrential rain, thunder and lighting when one of the radio towers was struck. Scared the BeJeeuz out of me!:-o :smt120 :smt010

Have been in sunny west Cornwall for a few daze... and it was very very sunny and warm. Tuesday at Land's End was hot. Lovely blue sky and fabbo view of the Isles of Scilly, wishing we were there on St Mary's. Instead we sat on a rock looking over the Atlantic (beautiful indigo blue) and then moved on to Porthcurno - the Minack Theatre is something else, open air it's carved into the granite, they've built a visitor centre and a teashop since I was there last, 20 years ago now. Wednesday around Falmouth and Truro, also blue sky and just so lovely. *Sigh - I miss Cornwall. Thursday home, and it ****ed down all the way. Today at work - felt like I'd never been away. 'You've let things slip' - 'Er no, we spoke on Friday and there's been a bank holiday'. 'Yes, well, you should have sorted this over the weekend'. 'Yes, I should work Sundays, you're quite right':rolleyes:
