Well done medium sized littleme , fantastic news!Immensely proud mum moment, medium sized son got his degree results today...
He got a 1st!
....all while working nights in Wolstanton, studying in Birmingham, buying his first house in Stafford, decorating, gardening, coping with furlough, all as an older student returning to education!
So very very proud.
It was chucking it down by us this evening as well. Luckily finished the back gardening before it started. Rained a bit by our house whilst hubby was on his walk earlier as well , but he never saw any rain where he was walking not far away. Heard some thunder again tonight , but didn't see any lightening tonight.
Hearing some massive claps of thunder as I type..

Lashing down here at the moment with some big claps of thunder. Can hear something rattling outside on the wall behind the cooker . Hoping it's just the air extractor grill and not water dripping inside the electric box next to it 
(The family of massive spindly spiders living in the electric box must have a way to sneak inside the house somewhere to get food and drink...)

A few days ago i had an incredibly vivid dream that @Goldilox diagnosed a specific illness that i had when he saw my bare feet.
I woke up quite concerned that i might really have some medical condition, but then completely forgot what he'd said it was - i'm still a bit perturbed by it, truth be told, coz my feet are pretty f**ked up.

I don't mind spiders that much. My Mum used to call them: 'Little housekeepers.'
So I see one scampering across the carpet I tell them; 'stay out of sight, and you can live here.' (I usually skip the last four words I'd add to that statement which is; 'you orrible little f**ker.'
)
However some decades ago I was in a bar in Cartagena Columbia. Quite a smoothie sort of place with a beautifully polished tiled floor, dozens of fans hanging from the ceiling and large potted plants all over the place. Then an enormous hairy spider slowly moved across the floor (believe me, every f****** bug in the tropics is built by Boeing) and none of the locals took any notice. But I was conscious of the bloody thing all the time, and it showed no desire to hide. I'm not surprised, it was big enough to take on a tyrannosaurus.
Since that time they've always made me a bit uneasy,

About 15 years ago in a Birmingham city centre wine bar whilst at the bar ordering drinks, early doors lunchtime pretty quiet, I saw a rat appear from under the steps leading to a raised seating area, wander casually across the room and disappear under the seating at the other end of the room. Barman took no notice as if was an every day occurrence.

... but so is a grenade..

Enjoying a drop of red.

Walking around the lake this morning I got this pix of a Heron waiting for his/her breakfast to swim by. I was surprised because these seem to be very nervous birds, and normally as soon as you stop on the path, even though there's quite a distance between us, they fly off with loud squawk that's straight out of Jurassic Park.
I'm piling on as much magnification as I can with this little Canon Ixus camera.
Perhaps he/she is wilting in heat as the Sun was pretty harsh this morning and no wind. Unlike now as the rain is lashing down from a cloud the size of Mount Everest.
