Is anyone here mad enough to climb in this weather?

There was a team reducing a conifer hedge in one for the houses behind mine right up to midday, well over 34 in the shade and they had no shade. Hats off to them.

 

By 16:00 it was raining quite heavily with thunder and 4 miles away a mini tornado ripped across the canal downing trees either side of my mate in his mooring right across the navigation.

Ponced around in the garden for the morning harvesting wildflower seed. 
 

Snoozed for a while around midday. 
 

Had a feed then went across the river for a training session. 
 

Work....  In this heat? Not bloody likely!
 

(the pringles can is for the seed heads - clip, drop, shake!)

Customer had a dry pond when we started the job, after break it had ducks swimming round in it. To be fair break was extended slightly due to the lightning.

Been promised storms for 2 days. Had a drop of rain overnight. That's it so far. Come on rain......

That's what I'd been thinking this afternoon: I saw storms around us yesterday but not a cough at home.  Until mid-afternoon today, then the heavens opened for an hour.  It brought back memories of September 1976!

AJS you won't remember that but fear not - you'll get rain.  Or the usual mist up on Crowborough Beacon!

Ha ha. Yes you are right I won't remember that. But I do hope you're right about the rain. 

 

You will have to tell us what did happen in September 1976......
