Easter in mid-May

Lans and I are off on another of her school's weekend festivities at the nearby lake setting of the Mikkabi Youth Centre, where 125 of her, my, and local residents' kids will join the two of us and a support staff of close to forty to ensure smooth sailing in the first of what could well become annual Easter in mid-May extravaganzas.

The weather has been on the side of wet recently with four days of nature's finest liquid refreshments quenching the cummulative thirst of many a gumboot. It comes on the crest of unprecedented dryness of approximately a day-and-a-half; very much the norm for this time of the year. It's pouring monkeys and bananas as I type this and there isn't much to suggest it's likely to change anytime before it ought to.

Here's hoping nature's first lady has a change of heart between now and sometime before 3:00pm Sunday, when the bones, muscles and brain cells will crave a belly full of carbohydrates and a decent night's sleep.

Until the end of the world or sooner,
