Rain. And rain. And more rain. A most violent electrical storm last night around 10pm. Quite spectacular and so close! Did you get it @floralies ? No need to water this morning, but I am sure the snails et al have been having a "devorous" time amongst my newly planted lettuces!!
I hope you are feeling better this morning @Busy-Lizzie and it's just a cold.
Steer clear of those trees @Pat E - they are such "raggy" trees. We had a huge beauty at my parent's house in NZ. The tuis loved it - as did the possums!!
Breakfast is on the cards first and then a squishy walk. Now - where are my gumboots?
Good morning @Hostafan1, @tui34, @Pat E and everyone as you arrive here … hope @Busy-Lizzie is feeling better this morning, and @didyw ‘s vision is back to normal.
Love to watch the bats @Hostafan1 … it’s one of our favourite things in the summer evenings … there’s a roost in a chalk mine just across the way from here … an SSSI … and they fly from there to the marshes, stopping off to grab a few chafers from around our ash tree on the way. 😎

I'm at the naff stage @steveTu! It was awful trying to read text when I had the zigzags - as if they were cutting through the fabric of my vision with bright lights behind. I used to get migraines all the time when going through the menopause (that's how old I am) but they stopped quite a few years ago and I never got auras with them - just pain that went nuclear! Not as bad as that this time.
Hope it's gone by now! I always found the lights quite fascinating and try to look at them - but then I don't the migraines that badly as I said, all more of an irritant rather than anything else. I see you're going to get yourself checked out anyway - wise move.
Good morning everyone. Another lovely sunny morning here but also seems very windy and a bit chilly, another pottering type day for me I feel. Hope your eyes have recovered this morning Didy and Busy is also feeling better and not developing anything worse than a normal cold. Also wanted to send good luck to @punkdoc's Moira for today, hope the op is a success and followed by a speedy recovery.
Back from walk and then came back to find the sparrows enjoying the lettuces! I have now covered them with netting. Then I decided to pull up the weeds in one part of the garden, as the ground was so soft. Having done that, I pulled my hand tyne through the soil and the handle came away, so a little repair work after coffee. The sun has come out now and it's getting quite hot.
@floralies I saw on the weather forecast last night that the storm was centred around your area - we must have got it instead of you. The rain was most welcome. The consequential mozzies aren't!! The swallows and bats will be happy.

I've just topped up the recycling box and the bats are still flying .
Beautiful cloudless sky with just the hint of sunrise

Positive vibes for @punk@punkdoc and Moira today.
Your kindness, as always is the stuff of legend.
