Nara Japan 1:15 pm It started raining yesterday evening and it's still raining not really a big storm but changeable , so this should do a bit of good out there and keep the farmers happy, temp's dropped a bit 32 c but not bothering with a shirt yet , we did stop using the aircon's for the moment,on the other hand it could easily jump back hot after the rain stops as we got another month of summer to come

London, Friday 29th August at 11.10am

It's a grey overcast day. Has been for the past week or so. The temperature is reasonable - around 23c each day - and it's remained dry. But I feel like we haven't seen the sun all week. August has been a truly dismal "summer" month!!!
