Cold and wet

While here in a desert land one tends to forget that it can get pretty damn cold, as apparently did the SAS in the first Gulf War. But I recently had to buy a bodywarmer and a coat for use in the offices in spite of the fairly useless electric radiators installed there. We are not, of course, talking about cold levels as seen in Jenny Cockburn's picture here but still we are suffering!
And now the rain, Qatar is supposed to have about 75mm annually according to their Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Agriculture website. It seems it has all fallen in the last two days! The roundabouts have required attention from pumps, causing traffic delays to increase even more. But at least we have rather more amusement, especially if camera vigilance is maintained, in scanning the roads at the moment.
But no matter how carefully and regularly I may look, with camera in hand, always seeking worthwhile records or amusing incidents, I am still unable to get that special record of a lady enjoying the warm rain that others have been able to find in Asia, I guess I am just hoping for too much!
