Rain

The summer rains have arrived at last, we've had 35mm within the last 24 hours and it is a great way to start the rainy season and I hope it continues like this - gently consistent rain that isn't going to result in floods. It was great to see the lightning and feel the roll of thunder and hear the soft sound of the rain on the roof and the smell of the parched earth as it soaked up the rain. There are some experiences that Africa just has and this is one of them - the first rains of the season.
