Jumping chicken on the menu soon. Not for me though.
Heavy cloud now. Been quite garam for a couple of days. Rains nearly here.

Best keep the doors and windows tight closed then, they can probably sense the rains are coming and are studying their A to Zs as i write.

HI Tony,
Whilst you and Remy were romanticising about the rain, i just remembered something.
The rats get washed out of their holes in the monsooon and head for dry areas like your house.
The snakes then come in after the rats!
I might write an escapist article for the daily mail after all!

Re: Monsoon in Goa
That's true about the frogs legs - we used to sell them in our pub in UK and all of a sudden our supplier stopped delivering them - told us they had a problem in India as they were cutting off the legs whilst the fogs were alive and throwing the rest away. Not long after there was a tv programme about it and customers stopped asking for them.

Re: Monsoon in Goa
OH! well somebody worse off than us. Sea coming over the seawall, and lashing down, roof still on, winter woolies out of wardrobe, but then it is supposed to be SUMMER OVER HERE.
