Hot summer

Firstly and update on the telephone line. Last week OTE returned with a more cable and replaced the knot holding our connection together. Almost sad to have it repaired, how many people can boast that their telephone connection has a cable with a knot in it?

After weeks of constant sun with temperatures in the low 30's, the weather yesterday was quite cloudy and the temperature dropped to the high 20's. Just as it was getting dark we also had a quick shower of rain, the first for over 2 months. Our olive trees are suffering from the lack of rain, the olives are quite small and some are turning purple and falling from the trees. Sorry to any tourists, but we need a few more showers very soon to help the trees and garden.
