    Lovely day down here. Which is good for those in Windsor! And good here. So far hay fever is behaving!
    Thank you bbm.

    Hope your hay fever continues to behave.

    Here's the happy couple celebrating the delights of vexillology:

    Yes - I saw it.

    I have also now seen an episode of "Young Sheldon".

    The Big Bang Theory in the main has been outstandingly good.

    The Phil Silvers Show/Bilko, Cheers/Frasier and The Big Bang Theory are the three American greats imo.

    What is so astonishing is that we are talking here of something made in the 2000s.

      Sounds expensive...

      Yes, we do! I’m rather pleased about that! A lovely day it was too. We went to some friends of ours to see it.

        I wonder how the Duke of Devonshire feels about this - he owns Eastbourne.

          Working out which aristocrat owns which chunk of the country is close to impossible, as they all have names which dont relate to the areas they own. Well mostly.It must be a cunning plan to confuse the peasants.
          Similarly , many scottish football teams aren’t called by the name of the town or city in which they play. I think this may be to put off away supporters. Asking for a day return to queen of the south won’t in all likelihood get you to Dumfries.
          I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

          I am not a number, I am a free man.

              They're just "county", dear boy.

                Hay fever marginally better, thanks, Lat.

                Another great day Today!

                  Clouding up here now, following 2 more days of uninterrupted sunshine. Warmer too - more humid: it's already been raining down Bbm's way, but not here - signs aplenty of thunder on-and-off for much of our week!

                      Right underneath a thunderstorm here as I write - almost at a standstill, with very heavy warm rain, lightning/thunder about every 20 seconds - just managed to make it indoors as it broke! Wow - real waterfall effect now: lightning flashes all the way from Croydon to Woolwich!

                        I was really hot and bothered this morning! Stuffy head making me feel rather yuk. Hay fever struck again! Oh how I love this season, not when it’s like this. Although I seem to be feeling better. Great

                          Big easterly up here, largely clear skies, temps OK-ish.
                          Last ten days here have seen gardens explode with growth and progress. Combination of rain, decent sun.

                            Someone writing on a weather site says we went straight from mid-winter to mid-summer in a month: nature always seems to be in a hurry to catch up whenever this sort of foreshortened seasonal transition happens.

                            Breezier today and this is keeping temperatures slightly lower than yesterday's down here. The wind looks as if it will blow any convection further south, so we should miss any thunder today, although the patterrn of hit-and-miss looks likely to continue right through to the weekend, with talk of a mini-heatwave by the weekend and a thundery breakdown coming on Monday or Tuesday for all of us. Then it will cool down.

                              We've had no thunder here and no rain for a number of days... it's been sunny for ages - as it is today; yesterday was stuffier than today which has a nice breeze which softens the sun and warmth.

                                Cold old wind - and rather a lot of it - so despite good amounts of sunshine the temperature is well down on previous days. Fresh young foliage isn't enjoying the conditions, with moisture being sucked out faster than it can be pulled up I suspect. No rain for quite some time now.
