Still waiting for rain

I took these four pictures this afternoon after I had covered my small boat with a plastic tarp, which is the least expensive option. I'm afraid the rain will be dirty and brown this evening, as Saharan dust clouds carry sand on wind above the ground. 

It seems it will rain soon. According to the weather forecast, the weather this evening will be persistent. Unfortunately, rain and wind will continue to impact Central and South Italy in the next 12 hours.

... and, obviously, fisherman's boats will not sail in the next few days.

This Summer we (Italians) need rainy weather. That's why I hope weather forecast will not be wrong :-)

That's all for now!

Assumption of Mary, 15th of August

Today, the 15th of August, we celebrate the day the Virgin Mary entered heaven. It's a public holiday all over the Christian world, and in many European countries. The holiday always falls on the 15th of August, no matter what day of the week that happens to be. 

Today 15th of August, 2022, is Monday. 

Many Italians who are already on holiday don't go abroad this Summer. The sea is increasingly gathering people on its beauriful beaches. 

Have a nice week!
