Drought - What drought?
on Really Out There Experience (Indonesia), 28/Nov/2009 07:59, 34 days ago
27 November 2009Well yet again the presshas got it wrong– the last four days we have had at least one rain storm a day and today we have had over six hours of rain. The ground is so dry that the water just sits on thesurface until the sun comes outandevaporates it. Then it is humid as well as hot.However, somewhere the water must be soaking into the ground as the level in our well has risen dramatically. Also the number of fish in the well has increased so a couple of the boys were fishing and managed to get a couple of small cat fishA lot of insects have arrived long with the water. Most notably are flying ants which arrive just after dusk and make it impossible to sit outside or leave doors or windows open. The geckos are having a wonderful time eating the ants and in the morning my porch is strewn with the wings off all the ants that have been eaten over night.
