Kitchen part 2 - this is taken from our front door.

This weather situation does take some getting used to; a few days after we got to Mornabah, in beautiful sunshine and clear blue skies, it started to rain, we had a few days of grey skies and continuous rain. Now to me stuck in the house this was perfectly normal, however when Andy got back from work he said people were running to the windows to see this amazing spectacle – turns out it hadn’t rained there in about 8 months! So, this is why they are able to have open air pools. There is a bit of a water shortage issue here, and we have a ban on hoses and sprinklers. The rules just aren’t straightforward though – something like you are/aren’t allowed to water between 8am-10am and 8pm-10pm on a Monday. We should be glad we moved here this summer though because last years was even better – I found a leaflet in one of our drawers saying that odd house numbers could water on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday and even house numbers on Tuesday, Thursdsay, Saturday and none on a Sunday. They do enforce these rules as well, so I’m thinking this must be the police wanting to firstly kill a bit of time in trying to work out whether number 23 are using next doors sprinkler on a Tuesday, and secondly fill up those cells of theirs.
