Today it is raining. We discussed this during the last 3 weeks, saying that the weather was so beautiful, so warm and so sunny, that it obviously was aware that we had our heads in the books and no time to enjoy it. We were sitting in class gazing out of the window at the clear blue sky, sweltering as we walked across the compound to lunch, wishing that we could lie on the City Beach in the soft silver sand, instead viewing this:
Given the above, C insisted that we really should make sure that once our studying was complete, we pretended that we still had to study so that the weather didn’t realise... and would stay nice. Unfortunately I think we haven’t been doing the Pretending Game so well, as ever since Monday it’s been fairly cloudy - and today it is raining. It’s actually drizzling most of the time, every now and then clearing up, and then raining again. Not exactly the sort of weather where you can sunbathe.
Anyway, yesterday after dragging myself over to the City Beach to take photos for You Know Who, I returned home via the botanical gardens, keeping my eyes peeled for sleeping bats in the trees, but unfortunately not viewing any. I took some pictures, but didn’t post them yesterday as the posts were fairly full already. Here they are:
Skippy!!!
I took this picture mainly to show how large the stems? trunks? of the bamboo were
a view of the amazingly tall bamboo
this final picture is specifically for Dad, the barefoot-runner of Ireland. Just to prove that he is not the only freak in the universe - they have them here! :) Sorry the picture is so blurry... but by the time I got my phone out to take a photo, he was already quite a distance ahead.
TTFN!!!
