holidays and rain


Playing hopscotch out the front.

Well, finally, the "summer" holidays are here. Actually summer has been and gone and the Filipino schools are all heading back for the start of their new year as we begin our holidays. Which has its definite benefits - less people at our favourite play area, cheaper prices for the beach (with the risk of rain or worse, typhoon). And rainy season has most definitely arrived. It, too, has its benefits. Cooler temperatures being the main one. Although it can get quite sticky with the humidity when the rain stops for a while.
Unfortunately the pool has been closed for repairs this week which has narrowed our options as Steve is in charge at school this week so has to be on campus for a few hours each day. Having said that, we've had so much rain the last two days I don't think we could have found a gap to swim anyway! On top of that, the playground is being re-painted so most of the apparatus has been wet from paint or rain. So not much chance for Josh, in particular, to run off steam.
