Make Hay When The Sun Shines


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 :)
