 Watereds plants at 8pm last night, suppossed to get a thunderstorm at 5pm but the weather remained the same.  The fridges in Tesco broke down on Tuesday due to the heat, trust stuff to start conking out; my fly killer died yesterday.  I got up at 6am Monday only to find that the light had gone out, it was working perfectally fine on Sunday!  Been drinking like a fish all day, it's cooler in the supermarkets, council houses should have AC, we are having hotter summers.  

There has been an outbreak of Corna virus at a banana plant (Fyeffes) in Coventry, 10 members of staff tested posive which is too close to where aunt Joan lives.  There seems to be outbreakes of the Chinise virus everywhere.

I was hot and worried last night, I hate thunderstorms at night.  usually heralded by the window flashing or an unexpected loud boom, and I hate loud noises.  Apparently the thunder was very bad in Manchester that their windows shook, I'd shake hearing what sounds probably like an atom bomb going off!

They've had flash flooding in Glouceshire, Hull and parts of east Yorkshire.

There not having much luck in Scotland at the moment.  A tain derailed in Aberdeenshire caused by a landslip due to heavy rain, and then caravans in Fife started hurtling down a hill at a holiday park (hopefully with no one in them) people had to be evacuated and the thunderstorms were the worst they'd seen.  Two hours of the most hurrondouse lighting and rain from 8pm -3am, no gaps between the lightening, a man said it was like an electrical outage. 

This train disater is awful, I use trains an it now makes me nervous to go anywhere.  Those poor people, the accident killed the driver and the conductor. The caravans at the park had slid down the slope and crashed into each other.

 

My armpit is still weeping fluid, it gets a bit sore sometimes but I was told their was nothing to worry about, lets hope now.

Further note:  The cloud flashed as I shut the kitchen window for the night, and there was a rumble of thunder for a few hours, I hate thunder.
