we had STORMS! so many storms and thunder so loud (the loudest i've ever heard) that i made a Noise of Great Alarm when one of them happened right over us.
we also had rain, blessed rain, a fair tonne of it, so hopefully that will mitigate at least some of the damage done and still to come.
it's a bit cooler (and muggier) outside, but the house is still decidedly toasty: our walls would appear to be storage heaters. hopefully the next few nights will empty them?
much better lightening pic to come in a minute, but i do like that the moon's in this one!
good sunday to you all; i hope you're all ok?
