Welcoming another week… yes, in this part of the world, Sunday is the start of the week, so we have our “blues” on Sundays instead of Mondays! 🙂 And this week, the blues are a bit more high, we have had a fantastic weekend with loads of rain and heavy clouds. I loved cooking with my balcony doors opened, enjoying the cold breeze and hearing the excited cheers of my daughters who were busying themselves through the rain drops that embraced the floors of our balcony. What an experience! Once lunch was done, the kids and I dragged my lazy HD for a little drive to enjoy the rains. For us over here, rains come very rarely in a year, maybe a couple of times. This time, it seemed quite early so you could see the excitement was all around. A glimpse of what I could catch hold of during our little drive… 🙂
