RAIN!


Yesterday... it has been drizzeling for 2 weeks now, the plants are happy, the sky is grey and reminds me of Holland.
The weather predictions are pretty gloomy.



The weatherman was right!
Last night it rained with a vengeance...
Our pool as you can see from the picture taken this morning has risen to the rim (about 8 cm) and I needed to 'backwash' it to prevent it from overflowing.
As we live on top of the mountain all the water that falls finds the shortest way down as fast as it can: the road. Our road is partially a dirt track and now has a mini grand canyon right in the middle.
This is why 4x4 cars are made and why we have one.
(In Holland 4x4's are now called PC-Hooft tractors because they are seen a lot on Saturdays on the most expensive shopping street in Amsterdam.)
