Got drenched walking to Sliwinskis for a watch battery.....'Closed' !

Walked back home getting even more soaked when the heavens opened...Called in the Co-op .....the freezer door was being kept open by my back as I chose my items....back of my wet coat got froze firmly on the inside of the freezer glass door! Took quite a few embarrassing seconds to get myself unstuck :lol:

I had a lovely day yesterday. A day at my friends, lovely cuddles with her dog. Lunch out, no constant interruptions from home, a puppy update:love: (they now have teeth and are getting more comical) topped off with a quick visit to Spud and snuggles:love: and chips for tea :D:pint:

So after wasting 7 months and numerous visits to my doctors, being faffed around, being told I did then I didn't need a steroid injection, it was then it wasn't trigger finger, I have finally been seen by the physios at Greyfriars who immediately diagnosed it as trigger finger and did the steroid injection there and then.

My little pinky is moving more freely already :)

So the injection works? My trigger finger has suddenly returned after not bothering me for a few months....most inconvenient.

The physio said it would take some time to start working but it feels a lot smoother than before.

For the small amount of pain of the injection it's probably worth a try.

My trigger finger is intermittent as well and comes and goes.

Did anyone see a bright flash come from somewhere north of Kingston hill?

The wife was just out back having a smoke and there was an incredibly bright, momentary flash from beyond the houses north of us. Kind of like a transformer blowing or something she said, except we have power still.

Was it definitely north? I'm north of you and saw nothing. Could it have been a pantograph flash? It's a bit murky out there...

Didn't see anything myself, but someone's just phoned me to tell me they'd seen a big flash come up from the ground.

Yeah, we live on the north side of the hill.

Unless it was something weird and localised, like our back light that’s been dead for a while managing one more, very bright flicker.

Is that being sarcastic or did someone actually ring you about a flash? It’s hard to tell with you lot sometimes.

How strange. Did they see the origin?

Further consulting with the wife has revealed it wasn’t enough to the east to be the health centre AstroTurf lights surging. It was a flash from the ground but silent and there was blue, green and white in the mix.

Aliens. Definitely aliens.

No, its true, someone just rang me to see if I'd seen it. They thought it came from the Beaconside (barracks) direction.

Per my addendum that sounds about right, not enough to the east of us to be the turf lighting surging or anything.

Mutterings on the Twitterverse seem to think it might be from the barracks. We’re thinking transformer as the blue/green would be the colour copper burns

There used to be a substation here, but it seems to have gone now. Transformer explosions are usually fairly yellow from the oil burn. Blue flashes are often just flashovers in air,
