Stormy Weather

[Serial_Apologist]

Things not been all that great at Castle Plantagenet. My mother last week had an angina attack, a bad one too, then last night my dad had a bad fall. Both are quite elderly, so always rather worrying. But at least the weather is good.

Sorry to hear about your folks, BBM - ageing is a worry, and I hope everything will be all right.

thanks Sa. Yes it's a worrying time but they do seem quite a resilient couple!!

Indeed they do BBM, and I think you once mentioned that they are both well into their 90s and still living in their own home, which is marvellous.

Horrible today, started raining about 10am - and hasn't stopped. This pm temps plunged from 13° to a miserable 10° - (I'm so looking foward to the heatwave from June 10th onwards) - in the meantime I think Friday and Saturday are both to be very wet.

Well my father is 95, and mother is 87!!

Brummie Simon (iphone-casting from a cricket match, holding up a Union Jack brolly - - I bet he's a Kipper!) is sticking to his guns about the 10th being the starting date, Anna. Here today the temperature hasn't risen above 14 C - 4 C below the early June norm for S London; at least however there was far less rain here than had been suggested, and now a breeze is up and the sun out.

Lovely, Marthe! Wish it was here!! :(

Not so lovely today. Clouds, drizzle, chilly air have ruled the day. BBM, I hope your parents are all right. It is a worry when things go wrong.

Fairly constant rain today and chilly with it. The temperature around 14 degrees here as well. Once again, the heating is on and Berghaus has been donned.

Best wishes to your parents, BBM. I know from experience that coping with aged parents is a case of one worry after another.

Hate to add to your Isles of Britain meteorological woes, but down here it's absolutely ideal ... sunny around 24-28°C during the day, cool early mornings and nights and occasional brief rainstorms keeping the garden watered!

That is all ...

More than enough, thank you very much !!!

LOL ... actually I shouldn't boast cos next week apparently we're going above the 31°C mark .. which will actually be unpleasant ..

[BBMmk2]

Thank you guys, for the best wishesd about my6 parents. We are all getting older!! :(

Not a bad day today and parents are behaving themselves it seems, as well!! :)

Well, it looks like all the models are configured for something approaching a British heatwave, nationwide, starting next Wednesday, and still going around the midsummer solstice.

Before it settles down, we have to get through a lot of stifling humidity and probable heavy thunderstorms this Saturday, particularly up the west side of the UK initially, then during the day and evening the Midlands and North (in my estimation), and possibly again next Tuesday.

I hope others are able to share the extraordinary sunset we're experiencing here in London right now
