Yesterday in the afternoon it... well... started hailing. It is probably the closest thing to snow that we will ever see in Brazil.

Me and my brother were sitting, doing our school work when we heard strange noises on our tiles, our reaction was that someone was throwing stones at our roof. Gideon went out to investagate and was hit on the head by a large hailstone. I then picked one from the foor and measured it, it was 1.5cm long!!!

What an amazing weather report, Josiah. Sounds dangerous to be in a hailstorm like that! I wonder why the hailstones were so big. Something for you to find out in your geography (?) lessons - but don't ask me, I haven't a clue!

Your family blog is a GREAT read!
Love to all, Roger and Mary
