Shoutbox Thread

In view of this thread being our current version of the shoutbox: There was a huge weather system that moved north from France into southern England, where I live. We did get some rain, but the storm was mostly to the east, so we didn't get any BM BMs, but we didn't get any flooding either, for which I'm grateful.

Libby, I saw that on the news and meant to post something about it, unless I did and forgot I did, which is very possible.  Glad to hear all is well in your corner of the world.

Oh, I'm often forgetting whether or not I did something or other. That's why I keep a journal. ;)

There was another big band of rain today, but that mostly went to the other side of us. But we did get some rain overnight, which was good as the garden needed it. I always feel a bit guilty about posting about the weather here, even though it's we Brits' favourite topic of conversation - but we don't often get big weather as others do.

The day before the (forecasted) storm, my daughter had to take her toddler to the shoe shop because the only footwear that still fitted him were a pair of sandals. He's happier if they can get out of the house, and puddles are for jumping in.

I went along with them. Who knew that trying on welly boots or shoes could be the worstest ever thing in the entire universe to inflict upon a 19-month-old? I was surprised that so much noise could come from such a small person.

I don't remember if my children reacted that way when they were that age. I wasn't keeping a journal back then - probably just as well, really.

We had some needed rain today, but it didn't last very long.  It certainly cooled things off, but still dealing with the humidity...yuck.

We seem to be going into a premature autumn here. Although the temperatures and humidity are somewhat high, there's such a lot of cloud cover that we need the lights on much earlier in the evening than is normally the case for this time of year. Other people have reported that trees and flowers seem to be already going into autumn mode. It's been a very weird summer this year.

I"m no NW Florida, storms and humidity are the norm.   Hey there is hurricane Danny out there.  Or it will be.  I think it's Tropical storm Danny right now, and pretty far out there int he atlantic.

So thankful it has cooled down here in Oklahoma.  Expect rain tomorrow but not sure yet how much.  Even though it was warm today, the humidity was down, and it sure made a difference.

My sons got me a new sofa and a 45"flat screen HD TV Sunday.  I am so blessed.
