Where's the monsoon?

For the past two years Leanne's been saying that although she loves Britain, she can't wait to get to a hot country where the skies are blue and it's so hot that you have to spend all day sat under a palm tree by the pool. So, this morning, what was her gripe? That it's been sunny for too long and she wishes it would rain!!! Well, I can sort of see her point: it's supposed to be the monsoon. You've probably seen the pictures of the floods in Mumbai on the news, but it's a very different picture down here. Whilst the land isn't parched, we could really do with some sustained rains to make the fetid streams run freely and wash their waste away. Anyhow, she's under strict instructions not to complain about the weather -- it's absolutely perfect!


This photo was taken the morning of our temple visit and it shows the awful conditons that we're having to live under: sun, warmth, comfortable humidity. It's tough!
You can just about see our apartment in this photo. If you find the bonnet of the car in the background, then look directly up you may just make out a balcony on the 7th floor with a corner of an orange cushion showing. That's ours. Maybe the detail won't show on this blog but it gives an idea of where we are. Posted by Picasa
