August 28, 2023,Heute nur ein einziges Mal Regen, ohne Pause😂darum RegenRunde an der Thur

Waited until 5 p.m. today for a little break from the rain, but it never came: Today it has only rained once so far: from yesterday evening to this evening without even a tiny little break...

Part 2, the way back on the other side, is quite disappointing, since mostly on …
