Another weather update

hail

It's getting awfully British around here when all I can talk about is the weather but today we had another combination of blissfully hot and steamy followed by the largest hailstones I've seen for a while, accompanied by a thunderstorm and rain, even as the chunks of ice were threatening to break the windows. After a brief interlude when I took the picture, the rain and thunder returned and simply bucketed it down, flooding the yard and the house via three doorways and two leaks in the roof and filling the pond fuller than I've ever seen it. I hope the fish didn't get washed away.

I'm beginning to wonder if we're ever going to get a proper summer.
