Rainy days in the skyshine
This is one of those typical days which has been affected by climate change and it is a one of those days that I enjoy most. I am sitting here in the shop looking out on the street it is dead quiet from the lack of patrons.The street is usually packed with poeple,but not today because out here in Africa some of the natives seem to fear water and if they are not forced by work obligations well, they just don't see the need to get wet for no good reason. I was late for work this morning not because I overslept, rather to wait for the rain to subside to a slight drizzle which happened and then me and my brother set off to catch a cab or in African terms a taxi. The rain has been continuelly falling for the past 3 weeks roundabout and with only a few days of sun inbetween, if it were up to me I would prefer it to rain everyday for the rest of the year, but unlike other countries our infrastructure are not equipped with laundromats and indoor washlines. Africa itself isn't built for big heavy raines these days anymore as the news would testify to muddy landslides and floods as a resullt of the afore mentioned structural problems and natural destruction of trees grassy plains. These are all contributing to certain factors which has been termed natural disasters, which aren't so natural if you come to look at how the growing numbers in population has caused people to shift from certain areas reserved for animals only, so as far as rain everyday is concerned not a good idea. Goverments are going to have to put measures in place to curb population growth or is it already in effect? Maybe it goes by another name? Well for now we will have to just accept the rain and adapt or die and occassionaly have some sunshine Later Bloogers!
