Well, since writing this morning we have seen a few changes. I am writing this in the midst of an electrical storm. The internet connection keeps dropping and the lights keep going out. I shall have to pack it in soon, I'm afraid, and go to bed.

We don't get all that many Electrical storms and when we do they're usually towards the end of summer, especially August. But tonight's storm seems endless, the lightning is lighting up the mountainside and the thunder sounds like Thor and a couple of other northern gods are going at it hammer and tongs!

That said, we probably need a good storm to try and lighten the air a bit. It's been very heavy and humid today, most unpleasant. THere's a feeling of moisture in the air that's not quite rain but it hasn't been good enough to dry a line of washing (always a good barometer for me.)

I've been counting off the seconds between lightning and thunder and they're decreasing dramatically so the storm is getting much closer.

Fingers crossed there'll be no damage to put right in the morning!
