Another day, another rainbow

The rainy season has hit Madrid. Two things to note about this phenomena:

a) it always finds a way to pour just as we're picking up the kids from school (as an aside, I promise a subsequent post about Jon's purple 19-year-old raincoat, and how it fares in said downpours);

b) we seem to live in one of the most rainbow-prone areas on earth. We've seen 4-5 in the last two weeks, including a double. Here's the one from last Wednesday:



And here are the ones from Sunday:



Rainbows are so common, in fact, that Seth has taken to running over to the window and shouting "Mira! Mira! There's a rainbow" even when it's purely cloudy or sunny.

In other news: We're having another spate of illnesses here at the Starhills. About 30 minutes after the Sunday rainbow picture was taken, Nathan threw up all over the couch. He was fine by the next day, but Seth has subsequently come down with a fever/cold. Tomorrow's off from school (Spanish holiday, part XXVII) so hopefully everyone will feel better (and we can get some work done).
