Tropical Depression 17




We have been holed up now since yesterday afternoon with torrential rains and storms. Not quite a hurricane yet, but lots of damage around us. The bank behind our house has slid down over the road, and now we have some new banana trees and top soil (and rocks) that we didn't have before.

We've got in all the supplies (water, chocolate, parrafin oil for lamps, wine) and luckily we still have electricity, but we're all expecting this to go out soon.  Until then we watch DVD's, play rummy, eat.

Being cooped up with 3 little boys  has its challenges - T has retreated upstairs and closed the door to read his book and I've been reading all the meterology websites.
