  Would like to take this opportunity, sitting here in my sweltering house, to note that instead of doing something useful like making installing external shutters permitted development, Kier instead decided to take this many years to block porn for puritan Americans at the behest of Mandleson and Palantir

  So hot today… Had a freak storm barrel through here too, which was a bit scary.

    I was looking at a lighning tracker earlier and Somerset was getting absolutely hammered by 150 lighning strikes a minute which looked mental on the map

      Yeah, it was mad. I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it in real life before. A huge lump of cloud like a mountain raced in from the southwest with a weird turquoise area in the back of it. When it got overhead really strong wind suddenly started blasting and there was sideways torrential rain. Because it was so hot I decided to stand in it outside and cool down but had to go back inside because the rain was too hard and I got worried about being hit by lightning. The trees were taking a clobbering as well. It was a spectacle but also kind of monstrous tbh and I hope we don’t get any more of them.

    You’re so lucky, I wish we had a storm to take the pressure edge off.

    I was up till half 4 and it was just thunderstorms for over an hour, still going when I fell asleep. I don’t think I’ve seen so much lightning.

  How come there aren’t a plethora of builders offering to install roof vents you can open or AC units.
