I keep losing my sky signal. It's grim up north.

Trying to watch would I lie to you on Dave but the signal keeps dropping, only channel affected and the only one we want to watch.
Looks like it's time to catch up with Ray Donovan  :y

I was just thinking that I'd done enough weeding and I'd mow the lawn before it rained, when it suddenly it got dark enough for the street lights to come on and a thunderstorm rolled in!  >:(  ::)

Not seen such a violent storm here in years

Torrential rain and constant lightning.

A good test for the replacement zone2 dish and better cable - my signal remained fine throughout, not a single dropout.

So, If you have the crap dish and cable sky gave you, put up by a barely trained monkey....think about upgrading.  Perfection easily possible.

The (sky) zone2 dishes are just 50% bigger, barely noticable on the house  (obviously much bigger are available too), along with some decent ct100 cable, routed and terminated well and not kinked.  provided the dish pointing in the right direction, job done.

No rain here (boo-hoo, that means I have to cut the grass), and chiller unit on all night as it was hot and sticky

Hazy sun here this morning, looks like I'll burn through.  Just been out in the garden to retrieve my oil drain pan that I'd left out last night, and its already quite warm, and very humid.

Lovely here in Suffolk. But that's not really surprising as it's the driest county in the UK

Another monsoon here about an hour ago. I was trying to watch the telly and the kids were running around outside making a terrible racket. It suddenly went very quiet.  :)
