Or rather, bring in your washing while the sun shines –
lesson one of the rainy season.
It has rained every day for the past three days (mostly at
night), so I think it’s safe to say that the rains have started in earnest. And
it is mercifully cooler as well. The children run around in fleece vests and
jackets when it’s raining while I wear my shorts and t-shirts and rejoice in
the fact that I’m not sweating!
Tragically though, this also means that all of my swimming
costumes have been continually wet for the past three days.
It didn’t rain last night, so this morning after breakfast I
checked on my kangas (wonderful multi-tasking pieces of cloth that I have been
making heavy use of – hence the reason both pieces were hanging to dry) and
they were just the tiniest bit damp. I thought, “hmm, I could take these off,
but I would like it if they got a little more dry so that they don’t start
smelling damp after I fold them,” so I left them. One hour later it started to
rain and it has been raining more or less all day. Needless to say they are now
soaked. The moral of this story, once again, is: take in your washing while the
sun shines.
And drink chai when it doesn’t :)
