The Old Man is Snoring

When I was little, there was this song:

It’s raining, it’s pouring,
The old man is snoring…

I hadn’t thought about that song in years, probably decades, until this past week.
It has rained here almost every day since I arrived. For the first few days, I was so busy, I didn’t really notice. After about 10 days of rain, I started to notice – it’s very wet here. The rain is a big topic of discussion this week. The school yard is very muddy and going from class to class (teachers move, not students) is a bit messy. I plan on buying some boots at the mall this weekend. Once I have boots, I doubt it will rain anymore; at least, I hope we get a break.

(PS I will say that it doesn’t rain 24/7, but on and off all day, so its not as bad as all that.)
