The rains have descended

It is that time again; the time which farmers especially love and the lazy ones hate. If you do not like working in the fields, now is not a good time to visit the rural areas as you will be roped into helping in the ploughing. This is the time when the lazy ones suddenly become ill and the illnesses last until the end of the farming season. I do not like working in the fields at all. Anything to do with working with the soil is anathema to me.

After the intense heat of last week and part of this week, we were offered a respite on Tuesday. The heavens opened and we were awash with blessings. Soul sistas danced in the rain while those who are not cursed and ran for cover. Those who use soap as moisturiser had a hard time with soap in their eyes.

It is strange though how the moment there is a dense cloud cover or an indication that it is going to rain, Harare motorists just lose it and become animals. The congestion becomes a nightmare. And with the rains here, the roads which have for long been in a state of dis repair are going to deteriorate further. The potholes are enough to sink ships and people are going to have to set aside a bit of money to the repair of the axle and the replacement of the tyres.


So enjoy the rain and be wary of those suspicious pools of water on the roads.

peace,
