Funny weather

After a week of days that would start cloudy and end up sunny or vice versa, yesterday really took the biscuit. It started cloudy and then the skies cleared to provide brilliant sunshine. We could hear the people up at the Pedrera laughing and chatting away. They'd lit the BBQs ready for lunch and were obviously looking forward to a good day in the countryside. Then the clouds rolled back over and we could hear thunder in the distance. Although the thunderstorm managed to miss us, we had heavy rain for the rest of the day. By six pm it was so cold in the house that we had to put the central heating back on.

We shouldn't complain though. Watching Euronews there were pictures of Romania and Hungary under floodwater. A couple of weeks agao we'd seen similar video showing much of Germany and Austria flooded. It would be impossible for us to be flooded by the Segura river and thankfully there is a storm drain on the other side of the main road up to the Pedrera which diverts the water coming of the hillside away from our road.

Anyway at least I won't have to water the garden for at least a week.

PS I forgot to mention we are back to blue skies and brilliant sunshine this morning. I just hope it lasts a bit longer than a couple of hours.
