We had the mother of all storms last night .. seemed to be mostly electrical at first with numerous dramatic lightning flashes all over the sky .. then the thunder joined in and then the torrential rain started and went on and on and on. It was incredibly spectacular, also deafeningly noisy. We lost power for a while around 3h, but not for long. We lost the internet/fixed phones for a short while about 11h30 but all is good now.

Chillier overnight at 11° and now we have showers .. and it's only about 16° now. I am right, aren't I, it is early September ? It shouldn't be this dismal yet.

I was tempted to put the heating on yesterday evening, but just used the electric fire in the living room; I have a very nasty long-lasting cold and cough, so maybe some excuse, but can’t remember being tempted to put CH so early before. I did take my microwaveable bean cushions up to bed with me as it felt glacial on going upstair - September 5th must be a record for using them!
We're on the second day of a 2-day weather warning for rain for much of the south, although not as bad here in Berkshire as was forecast yesterday, 16C now and we’re forecast a high of 18C with a south-westerly breeze - definitely better than yesterday’s north-easterly.

Sept 4, 2013 was our wedding day and it was pushing 40C on that day. 11 years and 2 days later we've just put the heating on! Last year I do remember a day or so in August when it was so chilly we resorted to the CH. We're forecast rain all day (so far not a drop) and I hope it holds off when we go to The Chip Shop in Confolens for the first time in over a month - due to my having had a crazy fall on August 1st and only just able to walk again.

We went to Le Tilleul du Gourmet, the new restaurant in Chasseneuil sur Bonnieure. It's run by Pascal (chef) and Patrice (maitre d') who between them ran La Grange aux Oies in Nieul. That was our second visit and they only opened on July 19th. And we've going back again on October 4th. And before anyone notices, this post has absolutely nothing to do with the weather!!

Absolutely .. a touch of thread drift is fine . Delighted to read you revisited your favourite restaurant. Congratulations.

Back on track. Currently on holiday in our camping car travelling to the Dordogne. Just spent the night in Cahors. Strong rain was forecast here but currently only the occasional light shower. Due to leave here in an hour and supposedly heading into a storm. We'll see.
