Its wet here but the sun keeps popping out. The forecast is for heavy rain changing to thunder by early evening

Moonie, I hope any thunderstorms in your area aren't too bad
Less risk of any thunderstorms here today than yesterday's weather maps were indicating.

Thanks El

I hope you are thunderstorm free

Yesterday we should have had thunderstorms. One clap of thunder, well in the distance and very little rain all day

So far, not much rain. Some sunshine. We shall see what the rest of the day brings

Listening to the cricket commentators on the radio. They mentioned that the Cheltenham cricket fortnight starts tomorrow.
They then mentioned the style of the buildings in Cheltenham as to whether they were Georgian or Edwardian.

Both wrong, they are Regency

The Regency Era was between 1811 and 1820. That's the period when George III was considered unfit for rule and his sons acted as Regents until he died. The buildings in the centre of Cheltenham were built at that time.

Good morning Buddies

A breezy, cloudy but dry day so far. The forecast is, sunny intervals, changing to cloudy in the afternoon

Have a lovely day everyone

There once was a man named Lear
Who brought us plenty of cheer
They've found some new verse
But to make things worse
There's no link to it, I fear.

Jocelyn Pook's "Yellow Fever Psalm" is extraordinary - audio only:

El, the first version was quite beautiful but the second version was the most haunting thing I have ever heard and bought a tear to my eye. Thanks so much

Having listened to both versions of that song I have come to conclusion that the first version is the “reverse” version and the second “version” is the proper version

I have looked up the lyrics too
