Raindrops in Abundance!

3:30am and the curtains stirred...the wind blew, the leaves on the trees rustled and the garden prepared itself for a deluge!!!

No thunder, no lightning......just rain, rain, rain!!....and plenty of it!

The overcast skies of yesterday delivered in full measure and the roads en route to school this morning were flooded and treacherous.

It continued all day and is still gently falling but oh how luscious the world looks through a deluge.

The green is so much greener.... The streets are so much cleaner.....

The buildings sparkle with a renewed vitality and most people have a spring in their step....howbeit a wet one!!

Here rain is a real blessing and this delivery has been long awaited.

Am sitting here waiting to pick GK up from her place of work......watching the torrents cascading down my windscreen giving a very 'arty' look to an otherwise mundane view!

In the course of those few minutes I witnessed a taxi take the corner and nudge a motorcycle delivery rider into the bushes! No-one was hurt but they were definitely soaked to the skin as they righted their vehicles.

Then along came a massive container truck whose driver, realising he could never negotiate the narrow exit, turned it round on a dirham, right in front of me and went back the way he came!! Amazing stuff!

Then of course the man in the blue shirt there, heading for the trade centre with only a paper bag to cover his head against the elements....I don't think he arrived at his destination with a dry pate!!!

Its been a fantastically refreshing day!!

Happy Blipping Everyone
