Weatherwise ....

She was a hot little country when we first arrived, but thankfully most days and evenings have dropped back a little. At night we run a fan all night; maybe our one and only aircon gets a 20-minute run too. It's probably around 32 degrees by day; 29 by night.

We are in the rainy season, which means that maybe four days a week we get a good afternoon downpour. Today was one of those days. I timed my run home from an afternoon meeting today impecably, leaving in a light drizzle and scootering into the tornado ...



It can pour for hours but mostly it blows up with a wind, pours and then clears in 40-60 minutes. We live on a dirt road so that good news is that the dust is well settled. Here's our Rue 460 from the balcony.



Of course, it quickly turns into 'slush alley' in the wet. Kids run out from their homes and splash in the puddles, happy as pigs in mud!

Okay have paid for tickets and am coming. Though am not happy that you forgot to mention that October is the wettest month of all and I will be visiting ginormous mud puddle :(

Dad how on earth did you address my birthday present from Mel? It ended up in the Chatham Islands!!!

Off to Palmy tomorrow. Going to have lunch with Crispy and shake some money out of his now earning pockets :)
