Rain, Rain Go Away

It poured rain this morning. So much so that it rained in through our kitchen air conditioner. Raining in through odd places is actually very common here in India. We also get water running down the walls in at least four different places. We are lucky though as some people have water come in through the electrical box and outlets.

Anyway, it let up raining for a few hours, but then got really muggy. It has now been pouring rain again for a couple of hours. All of this rain (it rained for 4 days straight last week while I was gone) is very unusual for this time of the year. I asked my driver about it, and he said that there is a cyclone that is causing all of this rain.

With it being rainy, my friend and I decided that it would be a good day to play Scrabble (I won't even rub it in to her that I beat her by A LOT). I was entertaining her while her kids had friends over as there was no school today due to it being Good Friday. The kids did end up swimming for a little bit. Anyway, spending time at her house was a good way to kill a few hours today.

Now, I'm just waiting for it to be time to go to the airport. Let's see only about 8 more hours to wait. My aunt and cousin have left London (or at least I'm assuming they are on the flight), but the flight is running about 30 minutes late. Ugh...let's just make a long day a little bit longer!

Well, I'm off to go see if we have water coming into the house in any other weird spots. This is India, so probably so!

Ah, you play Scrabble? I'd love to play sometime. :) S doesn't like to play 'cause he always loses. Do you play Settlers of Cataan by any chance?
