Admittedly not a particularly exciting title, but something of an event here in the land of the eternal sunshine. Rained for about 30 mins today. Weird. Hasn't rained since (I believe) February. And twice in one year is almost unheard of. Was still enough to create some localised flooding.
None of the locals know quite what to make of rain. Everyone still drives at the same speed despite the fact that the roads, bedded down with so much ground in rubber and dirt, are like ice rinks when they become wet. So accidents aplenty.
And everyone starts driving with their hazard lights on, which obviously makes it impossible to tell when those in front of you intend to change lanes (not that it is any easier usually - indicators being treated by most as a somewhat unnecessary frill!).
Anyway, a little bit of rain might make the town that much cleaner. Which is no bad thing. It will probably make front page news tomorrow.
Actually makes you feel a bit homesick...
