The big yellow shiney burney hot thingy in the sky has finally buggered off, at least here in the North West of England anyway.
Clouds…beautiful clouds adorn the sky, grey is the colour of the day.
I’ve not witnessed scenes of such joy since the old King died.
People are dancing in the streets, wild bacchanalian orgies on every corner, birds, dogs, cats, squirrels and a couple of ferrets engaging in furious copulation with anything that moves.
Seems like VE day and the Coronation all rolled in one.
Just before 9am EST and it’s 30c here (Brampton, ON), humid, overcast and rain threatening the next three days or so. Better than it has been but none of those nice cool breezes associated with impending storms. Just waves of muggy.
Right now we have dark skies, wind, thunder, lightning and RAIN lots of glorious RAIN. The TBYSBHT is temporarily vanquished.
Now hail too, woo hoo!
Posting quickly before the lightning takes the power out.
At 4 this morning I was awoken by very loud thunder, and spent 15 minutes watching the most spectacular storm I’ve ever seen in England unfold above my head. The highlight was a flash of forked lightning like an arm and a hand that went horizontally across the entire width of the sky.
But now, since its temporary cooling effect, TBYSBHT has just reappeared and I’m starting to sweat again.
I went to sleep last night on the couch, with the windows open so I could hear the glorious thunderstorm and feel the cool air.
By the time I woke up the thunderstorn was over, the cool air was gone, and in it’s place was 73% percent humidity hanging in the air, as thick as molasses.
