Much rain is a-falling. I was hoping it would be accompanied by some of that thunder and lightening stuff but sadly not.

[NotAllThere]

If you do the glacier express anytime, avoid Disentis, unless you're really into monsasteries. But Oberalp and Andermatt are lovely.

Currently, thunderstorms all around and it's raining heavily.

Tea has been pork chops with chips, peas and gravy. Very nice

Accompanied by a bit of Trucking Hell

[ladymuck]

I haven't watched Trucking Hell for a few weeks. Will see if there are any new episodes and add them to this week's viewing list.

It's still persisting it down. Dashed out to empty the saucers for a couple of plants to reduce chance of drowning and nearly drowned myself.

Still no rain here, though it looks like it'll be arriving with the dawn and then continuing through the day

Time for an early night, ready for the morrow

Goodnight all
