hu. a few entries back i might have complained about heat & lack of rain. this afternoon we've had thunderstorms, downpours and hail showers, the streets were flooded and at one point almost white, covered in hailstones. my olive tree has survived, but i think i need to call my sister & ask her if we still have a functioning car... i've been told it was much worse in the outer districts..

in other news...
