Is that a third brolly over the back, or a big worm?

Hmm. Bound to be a worm. But just in case it isn’t, I’ve altered the title. Thanks Peter!

That’s a bloody big worm! I suspect it is the handle of a brolly.

On further scrutiny, the bottom of the brolly can also be seen!

Great bench and haven’t heard the word ‘brolly’ in a long while! Here ‘paraguas’ for water! And much needed now for the next week.

Yes, am holding the rain off my head today. But still more needed to reach what was once normal here!

Think so but it was quite a drought then. Now we need to take care of our precious resource. Sun peeping through clouds today to be honest better than the July heat!

I agree. We’re still trying to use water as carefully as we did when the drought was on.. What are you doing in Spain if you don’t like heat??

It’s got hotter here in the Sierra and not so easy to go outside when really hot or do long walks. And am not now a night person when everything starts at 10 pm! But we enjoy family here in August and the village swimming pools.

Can’t do siestas. Haven’t a clue how they work.

Always good to have your gear off the ground, and just about enough space for a little one.

Yep, brolly here in Oz.

Yes I think so too. I use it, but then, I’m a hybrid and after more than 50 years here in Oz I still get caught out using an English word instead of Australian one, so I wasn’t sure.

I missed the original post but went back to check it out. Those dancers come prepared. I knew what a prolly was, my stepmom was Scottish and schooled me with a brolly once!

The number of brollies is a good indicator of the expected weather conditions.
