Forecast was for alternate sun and showers and the showers started in the night. We can take partial credit as we left towels drying on the outside rack. No complaints, though, as the trees and shrubs definitely need the water after a completely rainless October. Also rain does wash away the bird droppings on the patio. Wouldn’t matter so much if it were wood or stone but the tiles are marble and acidic bird faeces tend to eat marble.

Showers are patchy as people online report whether it is currently raining at various spots along the coast that are not widely separated. Debbie Atahasan, somewhat to the east of us photographs a full rainbow. And, also on the weather front, a series of small earthquakes, mostly on the south coast of the island. No damage reported and only three of them felt by nearby residents.

We had intended to go to the local Saturday morning market but opt against. Nothing urgently needed and it’s about three quarters of a mile - enough to get thoroughly soaked on the way home.
