I spent the morning slowly planting some new perennials - rather pretty Brampton Verbenas and some of those plants that have white butterfly-shaped flowers - slowly because it was so hot. The Tesco delivery people called to ask if they could come early which was great & I went outside to open (& attempt to cool) the boot of the car because there was a lot of milk to take to the Community Fridge and the rumbles of thunder started. I closed up again and raced round the garden bringing cushions etc indoors before going back out to meet the van. I dodged in and out of rain showers to get the delivery into the church hall but things took a more dramatic turn shortly after I got home with lightning, hail and torrents of rain.
Weather: thunderstorms
Covid: felt sneezy this morning but lateral flow negative and the rain seems to have sorted that problem
Good thing: no watering required
I love a stormy day...when I don't have to be out in it. Bless you for for the work you do on behalf of hunger and need. So glad your head congestion is Covid negative. Breakthrough cases are on the rise with variants. Thankfully I was negative too with my stuffy nose, and I could get the Pfizer clinical trial booster as scheduled yesterday. This virus is a tough nut to crack.
We have had rain for two weeks. Except for the few moments of sunshine, when we all run out and mow our lawns. Twice in one week! Flash floods and one town near me got five and a half inches in one hour.
Ah well, you didn't have to water the new plants in at least! Yeah, been weird weather. I've also found all my summer flowers are over already, I can only guess they've not enjoyed the battering rain that was most of early summer.
