  1. Woken up at 5:30am this morning by huge thunderstorm - opened the blinds and led in bed watching the lightning and counting the seconds until the thunder broke. Always makes me feel like a kid doing that! Good start to the weekend

      We were counting the seconds in the middle of the night, leaning out of our bathroom window! Great stuff!

      Some great photos on the BBC News website, but also sobering to see that two families lost their homes after lightning caused fires.

      I love thunder too. However I could have done without it when I had to be up at 5am - it wemt on from Midnight until 7am and then started again just after 8am and didn't stop until 3pm. :o

  2. Feels like I haven't stopped yawning all afternoon.

      Drislane - fortunately, I'm a soft southener, and it's still too cold for the windows to be open - phew!!

      Really pretty photo, the colour of the sky is just beautiful. Maybe it will remind the weather that it's supposed to be summer now!
