It's 25C, and pouring rain. Our compound has turned into a swamp. I'm thankful for my umbrella and the old gum boots that I found in the guesthouse last year. I'm going to need them to get to the office tomorrow.
However, tomorrow is a holiday! There is a census "lock-down" in the city from midnight tonight until whenever the census is finished tomorrow. The first census since 1983 was supposed to be held last week - people were to be counted in the place where they slept on the night of April 14. On April 12, the census was postponed until the end of this year. A few days ago, we heard that the census was back on - this time, people are to be counted where they sleep tonight. And no one is supposed to move until the census is done. So no one goes to work. No one goes to the market. No one goes to the airport. No one goes anywhere. It should be interesting to see what tomorrow brings...
Anyways, I wouldn't want to go anywhere if it keeps raining like this!
