Rain

It has been a dry summer. I'm not sure if the summer is over, but the aridity is! We've seen some epic rainfall in the last days. And besides giving us something to talk about, it makes all snails come out and parade around on my unlit garden path. I try not to hurt them, but I must have an embarrassing body count anyway...

The view from the back door of the office, last Thursday

These are the smarter snails; fewer die under our feet and wheels in daylight...

And during summer we could enter mines that would otherwise be flooded. I think all those have filled up again. Oh well; better that than that they fill up while we're in them!
