As I mentioned in my earlier post, we had a great time on BBC beach on
Sunday, the Sun was hot, the sea hardly had a ripple. I was just quick
enough to take this photo,
http://www.panoramio.com/photo/9955285There will be time for being serious in the coming weeks, so just have a smile at some of the captions that I have been sent: 'The Dogfish are biting tonight..' Haven't you found my collar yet? Not too deep, I want to keep my paws dry! 'You threw the ball, you find it!' ----------------------------------------------I don't know who the young lad was on the beach, but he really cared for his pets, and they wanted to stay close to him. The rain we had this morning fizzled out. I see the forcast for tomorrow, Tuesday, is for thunderstorms and 80% chance of precipitation. That would be nice if we get it. All the best. Hogan |

Hi all,After about 2-3 weeks of no rain, we just had a dark cloud come over and it dropped some rain. Not much, but very welcome. Hopefully it will be enough to stop Mrs 'Crumble' (Mrs Hogan) from having to water the garden, this evening. There was another fire up in the forest last night, but fortunately there was not much wind to spread it. I can't see the damage this morning as the forest is covered with cloud/rain. Hopefully this rain will be sufficient to stop the spread of any more bush fires. I don't think the rain has been heavy enough to even register on Marks rain gauge, thats if they had any in his area? From where I am, I can see the sun shining at Lance aux Epines. Yesterday we took advantage of the sun, and went to the beach, with some friends, thanks Angie for the comments about this web site, keep on following it. Still haven't worked out which is your house! All the best to all of you. Hogan |
| - NO RAIN NO SUN |

Hi all,11 days since Mark sent an update saying we had had a few showers. That seemed to put an end to the showers! Apart from the odd few drops of rain (not enough to wet the ground), it has been dry for well over a week now. Yet for the last three days there has been very little sun but still no rain, well at least in the Westerhall area. The overcast, hazy, skies seem to be coming from high level spin off from what appears to be large thunderstorms in the Venezuela area, mixed with the usual low level Easterly flow of clouds. The dry weather seems to have kept the firebrigade busy. Two scrub fires at the same time within sight of us, at the same time. This one http://www.panoramio.com/photo/9612159 seems to have been a bonfire, or land clearance, gone out of control. The firemen were there long into the night. We are so happy we bought a watering computer, it automatically waters some of the more vulnerable plants, for 20 mins morning and evening. All from our dwindling rain water cistern. Hopefully, Mark can start to use his rain gauge again soon! As I finish this, hazy sun, hazy mountains (tops in cloud), a stiff breeze, no rain. All the best.Hogan. |
