My first load was almost dry when it began raining so only needed airing. The second lot was just about to be hung out when I saw the big raindrops. No thunder in BN9 though.
Returning from the Shuttle last night, saw lots of lightning, but no rain. Unfortunately, my garden has dried out, so using the watering can early this morning to try and save them.
I’d love a big storm tonight to totally soak the ground.
I heard a couple of rumbles, saw the black sky to the west, so went out and got all my washing in, as it was practically dry. Five minutes later we have a lot of rain but no thunder or lightning.
