Morning all!

Another week starts! It's slightly overcast here at the moment and it's hot and humid ......... thunderstorms are forecast for later.

Heard the shocking news about Weston Pier on fire earlier ........... we frequently go to Weston on a weekend and go on the pier and now it's just a black shell that remains. It had only recently reopened after refurbishment by the new owners too.

Have a lovely day everyone!

Was it Weston?? I heard that a pier was on fire . . . what a shame I think piers are an amazing slices of British Victoriana

It's hot again here. The au pair has got my back up because she wasn't out of bed this morning so I could go through home security stuff and other bits with her . . . and she scuttled off to bed last night before I had a chance to discuss this all with her then

I've got lots to be getting on with so must dash

Morning

Terrible news about the pier I was driving over the severn bridge earlier and could see the smoke it was that thick it blocked out the sun and the sky was black. Its so tragic but imagine if it had happened a few hours later, thank goodness noone was injured.

It's reported to have started about 7.00am, another couple of hours and it would have been crowded with holidaymakers ..........it doesn't bear thinking about.. I doubt if the donkeys will be on the beach today either.

Glad you had a great weekend Grete, just what you needed!

Good to hear Bubbles and Fizz were ok and were well looked after..

That's wonderful Grete - glad you had a good time. Bubbles bad luck has turned into your good luck because you've found a good petsitter! Here's to more weekends away.

Happy news, Grete! Some good came out of the distressing incident!
Mags, what an awful thing to happen! But no loss of life.....

Day started out cloudy and unseasonably cool, only 19C; needed a tee shirt instead of the usual tank top. No errands to run this morning so took a nice long walk around the neighborhood admiring peoples gardens; then back to my own to pick a tomato for lunch and a bunch of beans for dinner. Been waiting for these beans since last year!

Hope all have a nice day..

Late getting on here girls, but I just done two night shifts and I'm al out of sync.
Horrid news about the Weston pier that was such a lovely place to go. The fire could be seen across the estuary from Cadiff
Its gone all sultry here again , thunder later I spect.

Our thunderstorm arrived about 4.30pm, I'm not at all surprised as it's been so hot and heavy today It came down so fast that the drains in the road are still overflowing.
