T'was a rainy day

It's been crazy HOT the past couple of days so I was really happy that it rained today.

This is the view outside my window. Reminds me of Arundhati Roy's lush The God of Small Things. On the left is one of the many banana trees growing in our garden. Too bad the fruit they bear are not the best kind for eating raw. I plan to replant them with the berangan banana that taste way better than the ones we have right now and don't go bad as fast as those sold at the supermarket.
That's my neighbours' house in the pic. They are so sweet about the banana leaves that keep drooping over their wall. Oops!
