Where rain brings excitement...

Yesterday it rained, last night it rained and this morning it was still raining; not heavy, just slow, gentle and comforting.  But not to be complacent.... WAKE UP MOTHER, WAKE UP CHILD, heck we have to get to school.  Outa bed, down the breakie, slam on the clothes and out the door 30 minutes early to arrive at school 10 minutes later than normal - but at least we were there that is more than could be said for over half of the class.

Doha is in the desert, what happens in the desert?  The sun shines, the sun shines, the sun shines, oh you get really hot but for a very very few times in the year the rain falls and it is actually cold.  In many areas there are no drains, the main roads have some (but not full guttering), however, when you get out of the built up area, the roads turn into near "non-roads" and this is where a lot of the newer schools are located.  So this morning, we had fun listening to Rasputin (Teagan has a fascination of the Tsar and his children at the moment) by Boney M (over and over and over) and taking some photos of our drive to school.
