Topic: 5am start

[Mrs Ava]

But not through choice.  Just before 5am I was woken by a huge clap of thunder and the storm lasted until way after 6am.  It was amazing, and overhead for at least 40 minutes!  The fork lightening was amazing, and the sky was an odd kinda beige colour!  Of course, the thunder was so loud, wall shakingly loud, that the kids woke up, so our day started early.  The power went off and on several times, after the lightening strikes.  Then a good 20 minute downpour.  Pleased me no end after all those seeds I sowed yesterday on the plot and didn't water as I knew rain was forecast.  I expect all the weeds were jumping for joy also!

I had a good session this morning, mostly hoeing. The damp smell after the downpours was delightful. At least everything is looking happier now.

Bone dry here :(

Edited to say the rain arrived while we were in the pub.  Donner & blitzen! But just fine drizzle by the time we were ready to walk home.
