I've just hung the washing out, so no doubt it'll start raining again soon.
Me too, but so far so good. I had to secure the clothes hanging rack with the garden hose to stop it blowing over - hopefully.
We've got a fold up airer so we can take the washing in easily if it rains. It blew over the other day and folded up and when I picked it u to unfold it again it bit a huge chunk out of the tip of my little finger - blood pumping out all over the clean white tea shirts, didn't know little fingers had so much blood in them.
Ours blew over a while back. Blew all the way down a small hill with the clean laundry. I was sure it was done for. Nope, I managed to raise it up (without any cuts or bruises thank goodness) and it was still in tact, just a bit of mud on the edge that fell into the ground. It's a sturdy thing. That is why now, I curl the garden hose around the lower wheels. This way, if it blows over on the terrace, it should stay where it fell.. That's the idea anyway.

We get so much wind here that we use big stones to keep thing like airers from blowing away. Sometimes I forget and find the washing decorating the lawn !
It's safe using the proper washing line !
Bit of lightning at 0230 hrs this morning with a few distant rumbles so I got up & disconnected the Livebox.
Good job I did a I'd just got back into bed & there was a humungous flash followed immediately by an overhead bang the likes of which I've never experienced before.
All went quiet, I dozed off & awoke later to find the RCD serving the main house socket circuits had tripped but nothing else.
Phew!
We've had a couple of cloudy mornings keeping the temperature pleasantly low. I think today will be sunny and a tad warm later (just like yesterday) although we've lost the gentle cooling breeze.

Got woken up at 1am by a huge storm, no wind but for an hour of the whole sky lite up by lightning, it came back an hour and half later for a bit.
5mm of very much needed rain and 19c over night.
Drop in for a natter about anything French related.
