Only for ten minutes, but the sky was cloudy, then darkened. I could HEAR it pattering against the windows, and when I went to the back door the noise was sublime. There were even puddles!

This is nothing, we have not had rain for weeks and it has been above 30°C in some parts of the country for over a month.

Now I’ve just finished the washing up and I’m drenched with sweat. It’s still warm and extremely humid. I’m so tired.

Goodnight.
