You're fortunate to be in the SW > NE track of thunderstorms out of France . I've seen some spectacular photos from Kent of lightning over the Channel. It would be worth getting to know how to take photos of it if you don't already know.

Back home after a few days away and arrived yesterday evening to black skies and the sound of thunder. Unfortunately, the cells were about 10 miles to the east.:( Lovely day today with even better in prospect. Maybe we've turned the corner re all that rain.

Thanks. It did occur to me that might possibly be the reason. Ie. to blame me if they leave it somewhere and it goes missing. Sneaky sods..Lol .I have noted you comments re who the contract is with. .On Friday and Saturday nights I listen to LBC Radio Legal Hour in which a barrister..the same...

It came today and I was ready to sign and he said., "no, no need to sign. He took a photo of the parcel in my hand but not the rest of me. So, I'm still non-the -wiser re opting out of signing.

A grim start to the day. Low cloud ceiling and rain.

Very impressive.

Excellent capture. Birds in flight always are.

Does anyone have an answer to this ? I'm having a Tissot watch sent to me directly from the company in Switzerland and it will arrive tommorow or Saturday. I got an Email from the carrier DHL asking me to "authorise now" if I didn't want to have to sign for it. Here it is. Quickly and easily...

Lol..It's my favourite accent. We've been to two biannual 1000 Male Voice Choir events in the Royal Albert hall.I have the LP. I see it's called Festival of Welsh Male Voices Choirs now.Isn't this wonderful ? Gives me goosepimples hearting them...

It's Mrs Fiend and I.....:D Glad you got it sorted. Sounds stressful.

My bold. It's just nice to get out, Pete, after all the inclement weather. No end in sight re rain for us untiol next Tuesday but,at least, it's warmer.That northerly wind chill has been replaced with a southerly.

What a let down..for me. We were forecast thunderstorms which Iove to watch and photograph. Knowing my luck we'd miss them and we did. :rolleyes: When we're choosing somewhere to go for a holiday abroad I always check on the frequency of thunderstorms but don't tell my wife. Lol.

Ah yes. I do recall ou saying that you moved from Wales. Tredegar ? Not far from Merthyr. Do you have a South Wales accent,then ?

We're getting a monsoon-like deluge as I post. I can hear it. About 3.00am we're getting the thunderstorms in the region but knowing my luck they'll miss us. :rolleyes:

Yes. I saw on the TV weather forecast this evening that you're in for some warm sunny weather and I said to my wife..." Dale in Ayrshire will be able to get on with his fence" and she laughed. I said it only because, as you know, she's from Ayrshire..Newmilns.
