June 21, 2013

Not too much to report, except the bat guano I wake up to each morning.  The jack fruit is in season and the bats love it.  So they come and hang out, literally, and eat and shit.  I thought they were the huge fruit bats that are as big as crows, but last night I went out and saw 2 of them.  They are only small.  I scared them off with my umbrella, but of course, they came back and left their calling card.  It is a pain in the neck to clean up every morning, but the guano is great natural fertilizer.

The seeds are from the jack.  My maid has been collecting them and now has quite a pile.  God only knows what she is going to do with them.


It continues to rain like the dickens.  I see they have flooding in Alberta.  It won't be long before we have flooding on the Mahaweli.  I haven't been up to the reservoir that is only 5 minutes from me, but I bet it is high and maybe can't hold much more.  I am glad my house is across the street and a bit elevated.
