Today we are to have rain varying between light drizzle and torrential downpours. A storm will begin around noon and continue until about Friday.
Friends who moved to southern Spain two years ago are moving back to France. With their two dogs, they set off by car this morning and hope to arrive here late tomorrow afternoon. What hellish weather to be driving in ........

The forecast for us last night and this morning was for fine until 15.00 and then thunderstorms for the rest of the day; right, I thought, early-ish lunch, then off to the square to wander round the ‘silk and wool’ event; hold ups this morning have meant we’re running late and they’re saying thunderstorms now for the rest of the day.
Lunch will be ready in about 10 mins and no rain even, so I think we’ll eat and go if the storms haven’t started by then - dessert of apple pie can wait until later.
Our town’s businesses do a good job of bringing people in after the main season with various ‘shoulder season’ events, such as the ‘silk and wool’ event this weekend. There’s a débarrasse session next Sunday - useful for us to get rid of stuff if we can get up early enough, followed by a medieval fair the following Sunday.

I have been before and yes it is very pretty. A friend owns the Pizza restaurant under the arches. If you're talking about the Italian in the corner. Lovely food, but service 50/50. I once got treated really badly during covid there. Long story but my complaint was dealt with correctly. That's the one.

The heavy rain started in the night .. and kept on. No storm just heavy rain. The veg patch will be happy tho I should have picked more raspberries yesterday as they will have been knocked off in the deluge. Now the sun is beginning to shine.

In Hereford just now and the rain has been, and still is, biblical. Apparently many local roads are flooded, Ross-on-Wye is now Ross-in-Wye and many towns in the West Midlands and Welsh borders are quite Venetian.

Yes, some awful pictures of flooded homes etc. A friend in Staffordshire was saying that the two main shops she uses are both flooded - Aldi and Asda, I think they were.
Here in the Gard this morning was as though there’d been nothing unusual happening yesterday, sunny and lovely from quite early. We drove down to Le Grau du Roi and spent the day by the sea, beautiful sunny weather with a very light breeze - having anything stronger can be quite unpleasant there. Had a very good birthday lunch, another wander, then back home.

Lets hope that people have got it figured out ?( but I doubt it) Don't build new houses in low lying areas.

Mme's off to the UK for a week so I'm Home Alone & all the outside jobs including Mutt walking are down to me. Hasn't rained for weeks & today it's hissing down with no signs of letting up. Bloody typical
