Feeling a bit jaded after the exertions of the weekend and it feels like a humourless dream when my phone wakes me up with "Sunday Morning" by Maroon 5. I wish it was Adam. I end up marking the oldest classes exam papers from last week,. I even get some to do for homework. I mark english, geography, civics(government stuff) and moral duty and human rights.
SOW is rained off today-kids don't come when it rains and I can tell you it hammered down today. We are nearing the end of the wet season, which seems to last for 3-4 months. By December, skies will be blue and things will be hot, damn hot. There has been a lot of rain since I arrived and it never appears to be too far away. The views of the mountain have been regularly obscured by clouds.
Walk into town this evening. Things are surprisingly busy- most shops are still open and lots of people are milling about. Old people are sitting on their porches, kids are playing in the dirt, men are sitting in bars, and women are carrying all sorts of things on their heads. It strikes me just how more sociable places are when people live in a climate which is warm.
There is no such thing as street lighting here and negotiating back in the dark is a bit risky, particularly with the standard of driving around here. Fortunately, a distant thunderstorm helps light the path ahead towards a comfy bed and much needed rest.
