Last night, from about 11pm, we had the Mother of all storms here. I saw forks and sheets of lightening soar across the sky and the sound of thunder was so loud! The electricity went off with the lightening but came on again soon after.

I heard this morning about Michael Jackson dying in the night. How pleased he would be to know that there was such a tremendous display in the sky when he passed over!
RIP Michael. You were one of the best dancers, songwriters and performers I've seen.

Mr A arrived home around 11.30, having driven through the storm. We stood in the open doorway, lights off to better appreciate the show - and watched Nature at her most powerful.
Gwen was a bit freaked out at first, but after coming out to watch the thunder and lightening she calmed down.
Minnie was as cool as ever, just sauntering around, her swollen belly swinging from side to side, as if nothing dramatic was happening.

DINNER
Chorizo Rissotto. Delicious! With Homegrown Peas, Red Onion, Garlic, Green Pepper, Fresh Dill n Basil.
There were leftovers for Mr A when he got in. He also said it was a very tasty meal.

Guess I'm going to have to put pen to paper to let Morrisons know that they have made a big mistake in phasing out the Walnut Dream Ice Cream - there's no email address for them which would have been the easiest way to contact them.

Minnie is still pregnant. I got her some tinned Sardines, which she loves and make sure she has plenty of milk. If Gwen can get away with it, she'll pinch food from Minnie's dish. Still, Minnie eats from Gwens foodbowl, so I guess they are even.

Telly's crap these past weeks. I've found a new author - and he's good! He's called Bateman, no first name. I've now read 2 of his books. The last one, Mystery Man, is a very funny read. He's witty, droll with a touch of the ridiculous. Recommended.

Right. Time to water the hens, empty the compost bin, walk the dog and think about dinner.
