Thunder all through the Night

Last night we had a lot of thunder. Rose really doesn't like thunder and while the other two slept right through it she woke instantly. The first thunder was about 7:30 and we put her back to bed about 8 but the real thunderstorm came about 12. It came in waves and lasted altogether till about 2. Rose spent all that time in our bed. Sometimes it was really loud - it woke me up and I jumped out of bed to see if the neighbouring house had been hit because it sounded like a building falling (until I realised how foolish I was) and other times it just rumbled like a hungry tummy for a long time.

The good news is, it seems to have moved whatever Tropical Depression has been sat over us the last few days as we can actually see the sun today! Hopefully the pool has been re-opened today too so we are planning to go before the afternoon rains.
