Rain

Spent a "perfect day" at our friends Tom & Susan yesterday. Our kids thouroughly enjoying running around, swimming (well, at least trying to) in the pool and playing with whatever comes their way. We just idled, ate some nice food, had a few drinks and relaxed.

And as a perfect ending; rain! Good rain too, the kind that one knows is the start of the rainy season and we are all waiting for that now. Let us hope it becomes a really good rainy season now, a lot of people will then hopefully not go hungry. And our gardener has just planted maize so the timing is excellent!

Maybe difficult for some to understand but the start of the rains is really something we look forward to when it is just getting warmer and drier every day.
