Dear Giovanni,

   My natural spring/well, behind my house in the 'area' surrounding the house (a walkway, 3m. wide, which runs almost totally around the house, and keeps the damp soil and water from pressing against the lowest level of the house), is 3m. X 3m. X 1.65m high.

  We've drained it every day for the last 2 weeks (not on Shabbat, though), to work on it - since it is a perfect Mikva (Jewish ritual immersion bath). The couple in my gate lodge have converted and need to immerse themselves in a Mikva.
It naturally refills in 8 hrs. But the water is freezing cold!
Thank G-D I'm already Jewish and don't have to immerse myself!

  Meanwhile, we had 2 days of scorching heat, Sun. & Mon. - 26 C during the day! Roll Eyes Grin

Best,
Joey


Dear Daniel,
welcome! It is refreshing hearing someone from Canada, here in Italy where I live we are experiencing one of the hottest years ever. And drought. My well has dried up for the first time since I lived here.
Kind regards
Giovanni
