  • It’s back here again in Farningham. Hens not best pleased.
    Yeah.......storm no 2 in swanley. Very very very heavy rain. I'd say worse that at Yeovil to give it context. 
    Spent a couple of hours diverting rising water from our neighbour’s farm. They live opposite us (and we’re slightly higher). All  the water the runs off the fields into the lane and goes into theirs. The lane was flooded but people were still driving fast sending waves towards the farmhouse. In the end I stood in the middle of the road waving people to slow down which they all did (except one)  some offering to help. There used to be ditches each side of the road to help drain the water away but they get blocked up  despite us shovelling the silt out. Apparently the council are coming to look at the drains in August!
  • Lots of fire brigade In Orpington this evening. Seems like Swanley got it worse after chatting with a lovely fire woman.

    What size are the golf balls in Sidcup?

    Do they still fit in the holes?

    Was she a witch or something? Some sort of spell?

  • Not much in Swanley this afternoon. A few spits & spots and then drizzle. 

    Very poor show.
  • Very noisy and wet in Plumstead earlier. Glad I decided to do housework instead of my planned cycle.

    No, we've become a nation of ninnies. Sometimes it's hot, then we have a storm. It's always happened.
    Humans are killing this planet.
    Its always happened.

    There are extremes happening all over the world. Recent floods in Europe, India & China. Record high temperatures in USA & Canada. This is down to human action.
    Totally in agreement. Humans are wrecking the planet.

    But people today seem to dramatise every event; yet we've always had thunderstorms - and that's what I believe @Baldybonce meant.



    Thankyou, yes it is what i meant.

    Partly down to human action, and partly natural cycle. We can impact the former.

    P.S. Warm sunny day up t’north today.

    Been bloomin’ lovely in my corner of North Yorkshire today. 22 degrees with the most pleasant of breezes. Spent the evening in the garden sipping mojitos whilst having a barbecue. Lovely times.
  • Talking to my parents tonight, in Dartford today there was little rain, so the storms were very localised
