Just checked the weather report: heavy continual rain, thunder, hail, lightning expected 50 litres of rain/m² in the next 24h, Flood warnings for all rivers and streams.

Possibly not a day for a long cycle commute then.

50 litres of rain per square metre, that sounds like an awful lot.

Early mist has already cleared to reveal bright blue clear skies

Morning. It is grey and damp here.

In other news. Our kitchen scales have gone missing ! How on earth can they disappear ? A burglar concerned about their weight ?

It works out to about 2 inches of rain in UK measurements,

Indeed.
from experience 0.5L/hour and below is okay, up to 1L/hour is annoyingly wet, and between that and 2L/hour is torrential. Over 2L and I stay under cover.

Here's the forecast for today and tomorrow:

15 and 16L an hour. Wind gusts winds up to 45km/h, and thunder, rain and hail. Looks like someone ordered the apocalypse.

Will update, if I'm spared...

The new Midsomer Murders turned into a right "who done what who dunnit? " Last night . The stormy weather knocked out our TV signal several times leaving us with a blank screen, I kept nodding off unable to keep my eyes open didn't help either . So when the murderer was revealed it was a complete mystery .

I have a Schrodie snoozing on my lap , a cup of coffee getting cold on the floor , and me feeling like I'm about to doze off !

What a dilemma !

Bright sunshine in my neck of the woods this morning. Perfect for a ride to meet my better half. Downside is then go together in the car for food shopping. Upside is I get to ride back home afterwards. Two out of three isn't bad...

Plus on the way back is a fantastic descent. Last time I rode it, I managed 34mph... (Now, I'm just tempting fate, am I not?! )

Panic over ! The scales eventually turned up . They had gone off to measure some washing powder for the washing machine !

Have you got Sophie kisticated scales that measure volumes?

My address book once decided it would be cosier in my sock drawer than on my desk, and it stayed there all summer.

My Siamese cat opens drawers and takes stuff out, but thankfully she hasn't decided to take things and put them in. Lol.

What yer making excuses for, it's not as though they've forecast strong wind.
