[cue Pastoral Symphony theme]
Drifted slowly towards consciousness this morning in the early dawn and became increasingly aware of a sort of loud, rhythmic whopping noise (a helicopter in my dream). My first interpretation was that my fan had broken (not my precious, precious fan!), but I eventually figured out a much more obvious explanation: it was raining. Turns out that a decent rainstorm on a corrugated tin roof is hella loud. But still kind of pleasant, the way it always is to know that it's raining outside and you don't yet have to get out of bed.
It's particularly interesting to listen to rain pour and simultaneously smell a woodfire; I live right above a little hospital canteen (the "Good Samaritan Restaurant"), and the chefs were already firing up for the morning rush of people needing their tea and breakfast samosas.
Also, spied this little guy smushed up against my bathroom window this morning. Creeper.

I consider bathroom lizards auspicious, I think. To the day!
