Oh 5.30 was it Hiney. It came out of nowhere and kept on rumbling for ages. Any how as I slept through the 87 hurricane I just rolled over and went back to sleep.

Good, for no other reason than a complete knob i work with is on his way there now to "hang out" on the beach, whatever that means.

Haywards Heath has suddenly fallen under an ominous darkness, and the wind is now ruffling the treetops....there is a palpable aura of menace in the air.

...its coming.

Nothing in King's Hill in West Malling in Kent. Just a bit muggy and rather close. Is there are any chance we could get Papa Lazarou to give a summer forecast. I'm itching to know how much cricket I'm going to get to play, when I can bank on eating in the garden and when to mow the lawn.

Papa - you nailed the snow forecasts - can you start to predict when our glorious summer will burst into life again?
