Every day this week the forecast is "warm with possible afternoon thunderstorms". So far this is true.
I've been quite productive today. My first Saturday as a working person. I have been almost shopping and actual shopping. I now have enough socks for a whole week of work. The almost shopping has been put off til tomorrow. I have also rsvped to a wedding, helped with food arrangement for the kitchen hens night associated with said wedding, bought a dvd for the kitchen hens night (The Princess Bride - I also bought Finding Nemo) AND eaten half a packet of these really tasty citrus jelly things. They are SO good. I know I have ranted in the past about "natural" colourings and flavourings being terrible but that is when such additives are used in what were formerly perfectly good products with synthetic additives. These products are naturally natural. And hence are ok.
Someone informed me yesterday that most phone lines are fibre optic now and fibre optic cables don't conduct electricity and hence it is safe to be on the internet in a thunderstorm if run my laptop off its battery. I checked this with my brother (just because it's true in Scotland doesn't mean it's true here) and apparently it's almost true but there's copper wire between the telegraph poles and the house. So I am safish!
