Hail, thunder and rain, in the last week of April. Our neighbour P says the weather is loco, mad, that he has never known its like. At 4pm the sky is as dark as 9pm. The earth is already as dry as concrete, so the rain runs straight off the top and into the drains. It’s hard to believe that a week ago we swam for the first time this year in the pool – the water temperature was 21.5° and the sunniest spot on the terrace was 38°. Yesterday the thermometer reached 12°.
