As you suffer a heat wave in Britain – it is tipping it down here in Greece!

I do not expect any sympathy. And as it happens the rainstorm threatened darkly but lasted less than an hour. The road outside was a gushing stream such was the violence of the downpour. Ninety minutes of baking heat later the road is dry once again. But while it lasted it was violent and cooling. I could not help but walk through the chilled rain – it was cleansing.
