Oh yes. I can stand the rain as long as I have that guaranteed sunshine to come.

Last night we were woken up a couple of times with the rain harder than ever. At times I was wondering if it was hail, it was hitting the roof so hard.

At least I won't have to water the plants we have put in.

A couple of years ago we were on Playa Valdevaqueros (know it? Towards Tarifa) and it was a lovely day, but suddenly rain like we have never seen before hit is. Sheltered in the restaurant for an hour or so, along with all the young surfers, then back on the beach. Weird!:)

Personally I'm about rained out, and would like a nice sunny dry spell.

It´s already been three weeks bil, surely we can´t be having any more.? Last night was horrendous with the thunder and the rain.

Nearly six years we have been here and I have never known a night like last night. The thunder and lightning just sat over us for hours. We lost our electrics but that was nothing to what some people have had. A friend in the campo cess pit completely collapsed leaving a hole 4ft deep. Terrible as they are in their eighties.

Well, last night was horrendous. The rain was so bad it kept cutting me off from Jerry Springer, so I wasn't too sure who the tatooed hillbilly went with, his fat ugly wife or his fatter, uglier girlfriend. Plus I keep wondering whether the weird character who appears to have been amputated at the diaphragm is, real or a set up?

Anyway, we were woken up by what sounded like hail, and drumming rain almost non stop.

Yeah. I actually googled it to see what was what, and it turns out he's a real character, stands 18 inches tall, walks about on his hands.
