What I was trying to do was to take a photo of a flash of lightning, and for a while there was plenty of that but I just wasn&#8217;t quick enough. And after a while the storm drifted off the the north-east as the wind swung round from the south.<\/p>\n<p>But the storm was impressive from up there and you can see in the pic the sheets of rain that were falling down<br \/>\n<br clear=\"both\"><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d been round to Terry and Liz&#8217;s to discuss business and the like. We have a lot to organise &#8211; including trying to record SEVEN radio programmes at our next recording session. It seems that my trip to Canada (have I mentioned this yet?), if it comes off, clashes with Liz and Terry going back to the UK for a week \u00a0and so we will have our work cut out.<\/p>\n<p>But this morning (or what was left of it) and the early part of the afternoon I carried on with the tidying up in the barn. I&#8217;ve found tons of stuff I had forgotten all about and which is now all put in boxes, and I&#8217;ve cleaned up half my workbench. I can now get into the drawer where the power tools are, and that is real progress.<\/p>\n<p>Once Lieneke&#8217;s roof is finished off (and I&#8217;ve been saying that for a while now) I can do some more and have the place looking just a little more shipshape.
