Rain, rain, rain...

It's been pouring down for two days and we've had to dig the cupboards for raincoats and rubberboots for the kids. But it's not really a tropical rain, just keeps falling and falling, the sky as gray as can be...
Moreover, the figs on the neighbour's tree are ripe again, inedible and full of little insects. Fortunately, to make at least the house a little more colourful, the landlord already brought us a Tet-tree; a huge peach tree branch that will start to blossom any day, for us to enjoy before we leave for N.Z. next Saturday.

Figs in the backyard...

... and peach blossom in the living room.
