Well done chicky. I still haven't been able to clear all the leaves here because of the rain. Was fairly dry today, but I went to sewing group. The ground is sodden. Tipping with rain this evening.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
The night time temperature here isn’t expected to drop below 10C ! That’s ‘cos we’ve put the winter duvet on the bed ... I forecast we’ll be overheating 🥵
Night night all ... sweet dreams 🛌

We've just had a mega thunderstorm - more a case of throwing the furniture around, not just moving it - with howling winds and driven rain. I suspect that will have stripped the last of the autumnal foliage tho a lot of trees and shrubs are still green. I suspect they're depsertaely trying to beef up their roots afer all the months of drought and heatwave.
Have been watching Rick Stein's Secret France. Not at all impressed by his visit to the Périgord. Worth a programme all of its own and he must have missed so many treasures.

We had very strong hot dry winds all day yesterday and a fire started south of our valley which meant that Hubby spent some hours on the phone rounding up able-bodied firefighters to go out to attack the fire (which split into 2 I might add), so he was exhausted by the time our evening viewing stated. He missed most of our usual favourites. Our local fire captain is somewhere up north helping with those fires up there.
Hosta, I hope you were wearing chaps while chain sawing😉. Not safe without them.
With all yesterday’s rotten weather, the sky turned black and we actually got 2 mm rain. Whoppee!

Thank you @Pat E, yes I got back to sleep eventually ... OH used earplugs but I hate the feeling of them.
Now it’s very grey and overcast and I think we have more rain on the way for the next few days.
No tennis today as there’s a funeral using the hall.

It’s not actually raining - well just for now.
Second cuppa in... I’m off to face the day. Have a good one all.
