Raining in the morning ('but what is rain to a man of greatness? I shall go out!') but went into town anyway.

Quite dark coming out of the meeting at 8pm - first time I've noticed it this side of the solstice. Better make the most of August, as I remember how I didn't want summer 2001 to end when it did.

Impressive thunderstorm started about 9pm and still going on now at 11pm. About time we had some thunder.
