RAIN

I know this is the rainy season and I know that we get heavy rain but yesterday was
crazy.  Thunder storms and torrential rain for a long time from Saturday night until
about lunch time Sunday.  David went to vote in the morning, he said that some places the water was
up to his knees!  It was surreal watching the news and recognizing places.
This is from NHK world news, most of the places shown are just down the road from here.

We are still under a storm warning, but I hope that the worse is over and done with.
The shopping mall where Christopher is working was completely flooded.

This week starts my summer holidays,  I'm hoping that the weather will improve!
According to the forecast for this week it is going to get hot!  Not sure if that is good
or not!

Rainy Season

The rainy season has well and truly started.  The rainy season in this area is usually in the middle of June but this year it has been late.
We've had some rain, about 24 hours non stop but not as bad as in some areas south of us.  So far no flooding or landslides, as yet.  Some areas have not been so lucky.
One problem I have with this weather is the constant headaches and feeling of leathery.  I really have no energy at all.  Plus, to add to my misery , my allergies are in full swing!  I am trying to get things done every day but all I want to do is sleep or sit and stare into space, even reading or watching TV seems like to much trouble.  I get this every year but this year it feels worse.

Of course the cats keep me busy. It's a good job they are cute.

Also David has made some ume juice from the ume fruit we picked at my mother in laws house. It is really lovely and refreshing!  We still have a load of the fruit frozen so should be  enough for the next few weeks!

About 10kgs of fruit
