Summer Showers

We had our first proper summer rains this evening - heralded by days of oppressive heat. Oh, sweet, sweet summer showers to wash away half a year's worth of gunk and make for sweatless sleep tonight.

The rains also brought another near miss on The Beast (as I had to take evasive action to avoid an old VW Beetle, which was in turn dodging some pedestrians who were trying to avoid a mud-filled pothole of undetermined depth) and saw me return home covered in grime but uninjured.

But this is Africa: I love the typical, violent afternoon thundershowers and I love days like this!
