Early start today and just after getting up, biblical thunder and rain over London!

Likewise further down the road from you, Cali! Rain that is! Lots of it too!

It was rumbling around to the south when I hit the sack around midnight, and I missed that lot. Still drizzling now as I write - temperature drop from 23 C to 14 C at midday a bit of a shock, though the smell of freshness is a welcome return, if not that of the moss in the clothes drying area!

Thank goodness for a fresh wind down these parts!

"I don't think it will rain much" I remarked to the young woman in cycle gear about to enter St Sprees, before myself taking the preferred attractive long route home via Forest Hill and the Horniman Museum, and arriving soaked through. So much for my amateur weather predicting abilities, aa well as the official forecast prediction of "light showers mainly affecting Kent and Surrey"

Did anyone else get caught???

One good outcome of my cycle shopping trip was obtaining the 10-CD block release of Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected (the 1979-82 TV series) for just £18 - an unbelievable snip of a price for what was being offered online for, let's just say, considerably more.

Some satisfyingly fine weather on the North-West coast this past couple of days: a bit chilly and overcast in Blackpool yesterday (and the weather wasn't much better) - but lovely sunshine sparkling off the sea today in Lytham St Annes. The high temperatures of the beginning of last week have gone, but what's replaced it is perfect for walking.

Wind and rain today! Mind you the garden and plants need it, as we haven't had any recently. Just when we need to be out and about!

[DracoM]

Haven't had it recently................blimey!!! Tha doesn't live oop 'ere then.
Yes, wild night, world looks a bit knackered and dazed by what happened back then this a.m.

We have his lordship, our cat, who we bought a brand new cat tree for him last week, and has ignored it, apart from the bottom posts of it, since we brought it in! today, with a bit of encouragement from MrsBBM, he has finally thought, well hmmm after all not too bad! Cats for you! :)

Has this anything to do with Andrew Lloyd Webber? Or the Scratch Orchestra??

Back to weather [mea culpa]: yesterday caught in ferocious squall, and even through jacket and overtrousers was so totally saturated, soaked to skin that had to change EVERY item of clothing once back inside. Was out in't rain for literally 8 minutes!

If it's any consolation, Draco, it's our turn tomorrow - for the heavy rain, at any rate. For that reason I've just done my week's shopping cycling trip today, rather than tomorrow; and it's lovely here - the showers predicted passing by giving spectacular sideways-on displays of cumulonimbus - and the sun remarkably warm, considering it's now way past the autumn equinox.

It's been a beautiful, sunny, cloudless day across London today; but for some reason the temperatures hereabouts have failed to exceed 15 C, despite having registered 19 C in places as far apart as Watford, Brentwood, Dartford and Tunbridge Wells - unusually, a couple up on central London. Inside the flat here, with the temperature already continuously below 15 C, I have to contemplate putting on the central heating a lot earlier than usual.
