    Hi Ergates. Yes I’m not keen to go back out to the clothes line in case the lightning is really close.  Hubby has an AP that shows where the lightning strikes are, but it’s not on my iPad. 
    If the washing I gets another rinse, so be it. 🙄
    If I was looking in the right direction I’d be able to eye the strikes, but I’m not sure where they are at the moment.   I was watching TV between hanging out washing and kept losing reception, so in the end just turned the darned thing off.

    Hi Dove. Glad you had a good sleep. You must have needed it. Don’t know if the washing is dry. I’m leaving it out overnight because I’m not prepared to risk being struck by lightning. 😳

    The sky is still threatening and there is lots of rumbling overhead.

  • Yes stay indoors  @Pat E … I like storms but it’s not good to be out in one if there’s lightening strikes going on.

    The most recent one he identified on his AP was 8 km away.

  • That’s no distance as storms go!

    Morning all. S'truth it's cold out there. Nothing planned today so I might just set some perennial herbaceous seeds and get them germinated in the conservatory. I might not though...

    Morning all.

    I've seen the first episode of "This is Going to Hurt" about a junior Registrar on Obstetrics. It was absolutely gruelling, hard watching it and I was a nurse. I did a 3 months course in Obstetrics when I was a student nurse in London. I wanted to be a midwife, but ended up getting married and having 4 babies instead. In those days, 70s, the junior doctors worked tremendously long hours. I sometimes made them rest in sister's office on the sofa and I made them scrambled eggs in the ward kitchenette when they hadn't time to eat. I've found out that Adam Kay worked as a doctor between 2003 and 2010, then quit after a Caesarean that went wrong when he was exhausted. I wonder what conditions are like now for NHS staff, they hadn't changed between 2073 and 2003, even looked worse.

    On a lighter note - We enjoyed our lunch out yesterday with our friends. I had duck confit salad to start then fillet of lamb with a selection of vegetables beautifully cooked and presented. I had peanut parfait with caramel sauce, sorbet and honeycomb. OH had salmon and prawn fishcakes then sea bream, followed by treacle and walnut tart. We all had a good natter. 

    @Dovefromabove will know the place in Fressingfield.
