However, she worries a lot about the weather. In July her relatives came to visit her and they went out to have a barbecue. They were going to enjoy themselves, but to their disappointment, the party was spoiled by heavy rain. They all felt bored and irritated. Now she is dialing 121 in order to get the recent weather information. This time she is going to feel happy with the reunion.
