Hole in the cloud

The thunder is rolling around and the fire engine sirens are going as, almost certainly, the lightening strikes have started a forest fire somewhere.  The heat is now giving way to afternoon storms.  At least it might freshen things up a bit.  This morning I took four more boxes of books to the English library in the church.  In the afternoon, we visited a friend who is housebound and enjoyed tea and cake. I could almost imagine myself in England!
