We had it too ( except for the hailstones ) the sky turned as dark as night and the rain was coming down like a gigantic hosepipe had been turned on. Then today lovely sunny and bright if a tad cooler than of late ! |

16 C, these clouds were supposed to bring much needed rain but we only got a brief drizzle so far. |

A nice sunny (but a bit chilly) day here in Paris. After many days of rain, it feels great! |

When I come out of the gym, the sun was up and I felt all “Howard Keel” it was so lovely!
Don’t worry gentle reader, I didn’t burst into any Richard Rodgers songs though, I wouldn’t inflict that on an innocent world! 😜 |

Ditto here Pete, been on all night couldn’t do my customary walk to the library today. So after gym I had breakfast at home, walked the dog ( in a brief let up) and settled down… then there are blue skies but always with that imminent threat of another downpour on the way. |

15 C here, clear skies but the wind's knocking down acorns and autumn leaves. Most people I've talked to locally have been busy tidying yards and gardens and/or cutting firewood; if we don't get frost tonight we certainly will within the next week. |
