The picture to the left is the damage that freak hail did to my car last week back home. It’s a rare thing, maybe occurring once every three years but made even more stranger by the fact that it all happened in October instead of the peak of summer (December/January). I was even told by my family it was something like 37 degrees!

Strangely London has been rather moderate, with an extended summer that has allowed me to enjoy a lot more of the outdoors than I thought I would have. I even managed to get a hold of some okay runners for a decent price that let me go for a jog around Hyde Park today (just down the end of my street). I hope that everyone and their possessions back home got away better than my car did.
