I will post in a bit. I'm a bit late because I have a couple of outdoor things to do before the rain starts, and it's supposed to be thunderstorming in about an hours time.

Forecast has moved it towards evening here @gennepher.
But the cloud is thicker but still not rain bearing. It is warm.
And it's true about a camera catching the northern aurora.
And yes I have seen it. But not the last two nights cos of the goings on at the stadium.
 
6.4 this sun drenched a.m. turning into a torrential p.m. I'm reliably informed by the weather people.
Then again, !!!!!
The booming continued till after ten p.m.last night.
And looked before on my constitutional, all gone now!
Spent an hour finishing dead heading my bluebells. It was spectacular while it lasted.
May have to visit plant man to fill spaces.
Grass should be done, but I'm trying not to. Cos I don't want to. Well, maybe. It's really not long enough at this time of year. But, it growing quite quickly now cos of the best and sun. I will have a look tomorrow.
Idolatry!

Our prime miniature was seen shopping at Mothercare for pyjamas.
All too big for him!
 
Good that yesterday went well. Hope when you get the results they are also good.

I actually forgot to take my Montazumas but made a superhuman effort to resist the temptation of the salted caramel ice cream.

Just the gentle amble amble around the Water Gardens was enough for me.

Interestingly, I got chatting to another visitor about covid jabs. She was also feeling incredibly sleepy after the jab and had thought she was imagining it.
 
Just finished my jobs outside @Lamont D I thought I was never going to make it before the rain....glad the rain rearranged its timetable for me!!!
It doesn't smell like rain or a thunderstorm yet...
Ah, so it's true. I will be out there tonight and see if I can capture it...if I don't get eaten alive...by mosquitoes...
 
So much for the promised downpour?
clear blue skies and 30 degrees on my thermometer. It is so warm.

Mrs L has gone back upstairs with the fan on and watching her YouTube murder vids.
I keep reminding her to not get any ideas.

I'm using the remote to switch from cricket to footie and neither is that entertaining, Lance getting a mailing again. Very expensive minted lamb chops for Mrs L for later. She likes them grilled.
According to butcher, gone up by 300% since chrimbo 2022.

Had an interesting conversation in the shop this morning about how the tories have made it increasingly difficulty to get any government help through the system changing to universal credit. The value of any and all money that is claimed is now at least 20% of the value of was in real cash terms since the change. And again in real cash terms taking inflation into account etc. The amount of actual money is now less by 28%.
So where has all this money gone?
And in a recent YouTube video, allegedly, more than £400 billion had gone abroad from the coffers due to government figures.
Where has that gone?
And to put a cap on it, the government borrowing is now more than GDP, and rising.
record debt repayments to the bankers......!
And this is separate to the scandal of the PPE and covid procurement.

And fishi rishi, our prime miniture, has just increased his wealth by a few million.

can't wait for it all to end!
 
No mossys yet. But plenty of gnats and others. It is so clear here. The warm wind has picked up a bit from the South east.
Ants are scurrying. But the birds are just sitting on the grass. Quite a lot of them on the footie pitches.
Just wondering why. @lindisfel would know!
He is having issues getting on the forum according to his thread.

Kitchen duties await.
My best wishes and dishes to do.
See you later............
 
Privilege comes with age even for posher sounding jabs.
 
Smashing photos of your ride out - wonder why all the police outside Buck House - is Andrew lurking in the bushes?
 
I do feel quite sorry for those soldiers having to put up with these public duties.
 
Thank you @ianpspurs and yes, definitely, or defiantly in the shade today. All the best with your posh hat. What will you place inside the not so secret pocket? I have instructions to get me home if found wandering without my emotional support crocodile. The string thing is a bit naff. I tuck mine inside - the string thing that is.
 
The aliens will get you
 
Fbg 6.7


Nighttime wildlife video
Fox drinks water then jumps on swing & a soggy Badger appears
43 secs

Creative...one line squiggle, 10-12 secs...a man carrying a bag by one handle...

There is rain, maybe that thunderstorm is in the air. I can smell it. But it could still change its mind yet...it has gone very dark. Midnight has come rushing in...I had better go and change those SD cards and batteries in the trail cameras before I get caught in a deluge...


EDIT: Thunderstorm has moved over without thunderstorming...sky has lightened, it is getting brighter...

EDIT NUMBER 2: We have lightning!! But I cannot tell if there is thunder because my Cochlear sound processor is not working...oh WOW that was some lightning flash! Trees are beating each other. Now, I need the rain to water my garden and pots....please rain!!!!


EDIT NO 3: The thunderstorm has passed me by...it is now a beautiful sunny blue skied evening...no rain...

Road from wellington arch to buck pal closed to traffic, as was area in and around the Mall itself.

Seems to recall some march or demo I read about in papers after (never saw anything myself at time )

And kerfuffle just ahead, unsure if a security stop,
but maybe a driver taken ill ? (see ambulance )
Though it was well inside the cordon, maybe just extra care if a tourist got lost driving around. ?

Agree on the parade style stuff.

Back in the day, maybe

But now far too many 'instas' etc trying to make a 'name' for themselves to be sensible at such close range.

How the people on duty keep their cool, goodness knows.

Discipline I know, but that has it's limits.
 
My nephew is a sergeant in the Blues and Royals. And his company was in Afghanistan twice with one of the princes.
I have pictures.
He has told me that the majority of royal duty is straightforward and not an issue, except for the odd ******** who is not aware of the duty the guards perform.
But sometimes he joked it is easier to be abroad than in barracks. And yes, he has his own horse. And he trains recruits now.
And the rest is too secret. Which I divulged in the blogs forum.
 
It has in the past half hour gone very dark, cloudy, and is now spitting there is distant faint thunder, and it is gonna bounce down soon! Still warm tho. Can smell the coming rain.

I am waiting for it to bounce down here. I am wanting that rain. I need that rain...

I have just done edit no 2 on my post "We have lightning!! But I cannot tell if there is thunder because my Cochlear sound processor is not working...oh WOW that was some lightning flash! Trees are beating each other. Now, I need the rain to water my garden and pots....please rain!!!!"
But I don't smell the rain now...

I think it is detouring to you @Lamont D

No rain for me...it is now a beautiful sunny blue skied evening...
