The day started without incident or alarm. I awoke naturally and pottered downstairs for a coffee. Soon after, Diane wandered into the kitchen for her tea and I went up for a shower. At 09:00. I had a call with the cousins. Suzannah was pleased to introduce us to her brand-new house, and Chris talked about his medieval reenactment in Germany last week,. These were the main topics for the day but this was couched in a bubble-wrap of banter and good humour.
We had an amber weather warning threatening thunderstorms. As the morning progressed it got darker and darker. In the end, I shut down this iMac (Condor) just in case there was a huge electrical storm. I was taking no chances for an electrical surge (despite having surge protectors on the power supply). The storm came, dumped huge amounts of water, made a lot of noise, and within 40 minutes had left.
We settled down with our books for an hour or two, but with the threat of a further downpour, made the most of the radar picture which implied we had an hour or so before the next rainfall. I took Diane out for a walk around the lake, then up Berry Lane and back past the side entrance to Ellie's school. It was a good walk for her.
