cough! cough! splutter......

Yeah, not been around much recently; I was stuck down with a chest infection. Not had that before- don't want it again. I'm not sure what was worse, the hacking painful cough or the side-effects from the antibiotics or the double whammy migraine, chest infection combo (yeah, that was really lovely day off work).
Happily on the mend now, I'm getting all the health issues out the way in one go- all the tests I'd been putting off -done, getting a mole removed this Thursday too. Hopefully that should see me through another 4/5 years of not going to a doctors.
The crappy weather continues here, although the rain has let up, its still only around 12C (hard to believe that its supposed to be the middle of summer). We had some spectacular rain a couple of weeks back- never seen the sky so dark before; truly apocalyptic weather. There were numerous lightening strikes and the rain, oh the rain! an entire months worth of rain in 2 hours (on top of already saturated ground) just around the start of rush hour. My usual route home by bike was impassible, the rain had flooded the underpass completely. The alternate route home was still knee deep in water. Some houses went on fire due to lightening strikes, we just lost all internet. The rain hasn't really let up since the beginning of June really. Strange that almost as soon as half of England declared a drought, it started raining and now there has been so much rain all the hose-pipe bands have been lifted across the country.
Ah well, were would be without some useless weather to moan about- not in the UK thats for sure. Still, I hope it cheers up for the holiday I've got coming up. Oyomesan- pack your wellies and jumpers!
