        Aloha everyone,

        The thunderstorm last night was certainly spectacular. It went on for two hours with a combination of forked and sheet lightning. Sometimes the sky was as light as day, albeit for just a few seconds, and other times there was big forks and little forks. One of the big ones was a bright orange and some of the small ones were multi-coloured. Roads were flooding - which kept other shoppers away from Tesco when I went there at 11.30 p.m. on the way home from bridge. :heehee:

        Going to be a hot one today. :thumbsup:

        We have a nephew and family coming today and I have to work out a menu. Actually, thought it out whilst touring Tesco last night. :blue thumb: All vegetarians, one coeliac and one dairy free. :rolleyespink: Sarafi wouldn't approve :snorky:

        Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

        Aloha!

          Good day everyone
          It went down to 9c last night - was tempted to put the central heating on but elected to go to bed early, with an extra blanket and read an old Charlie Chan mystery. Had a hard time getting to sleep though as I was restless.

          @shiney I cannot imagine going out shopping after dark :old:
          @Zigs too much fun getting the boy tired out?:heehee:

          It is sunny outside and I'm thinking this will make it seem like a pleasant autumn day out there and a good one to go out and play later this morning. I have more tidying to do as the plants are starting to look quite sad.

          Might do some baking this morning too :)

          Have a super day and please play safe!

            I don't 'go out' shopping but I go shopping on the way home from being out. That can be any time during the night or the early hours. Popped into Tesco the other week at 3 a.m. on the way home from a 200 mile drive that started after midnight. :)

                @shiney Heavy downpours here but no thunder or lightening. As I didn't go to bed until 1am I would have notice. It just goes to show how localised weather phenomena is.

                24 hour shopping is great. When I was coach driving my shifts could start and end at any time day or night. It make sense to do your shopping while you're out. It saves you a trip and wasting a day that could be used more constructively.

                Before I lived here I lived in a flat that was within walking distance of a local shopping arcade. If I had some down time, I could park the bus on the bus stop, shop, take it home and put it away then go back to work. Job done. :Wino:

                        Aloha everyone,

                        Weak sunshine but a warmer morning than all week. :blue thumb: Don't know whether it will warm up quite as much as the last few days.

                        I'm not sure what we'll do today but, obviously, some gardening will come into it. :) We'll probably take a stroll along the river. I had a very brisk walk yesterday (trying to do what they recommended all over the news last week).

                        Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                        Aloha!

                          Morning all. Slow day ahead here possibly! Hope you are all enjoying the weekend.

                          It was definitely a little warmer here too, @shiney - not as cold as before, but September marches on!

                          Happy day to all.
