The next decade....what's in store?

navI Notes: 6

I think we have been spared....somewhat.

Where we live is Kingston & St Andrew. The latest advisory said that the hurricane was located 30 or so miles south of Hellshire Point in St Catherine. That's to the west of where we are. So it seems as if Ivan has skirted the south coast of Jamaica. It means that we are getting mostly the rain.

Of course, we've been hearing the winds as well, rattling the shutters we have up on the window. Through one of the windows, we've discovered a trickle of water, nothing major.

Using flashlights to look outside, it seems as if part of the ackee tree has fallen down....and it was laden.

My priority is to get up at the crack of dawn tomorrow and check on the dogs. Now if you have been reading this blog in the past couple of months, you would have seen stories about the tormentor Kalli. Well, right now she is holed up in the same kennel as my favourite dog who she is always terrorizing. Like me, my favourite dog doesn't fight back, she just walks away. But when she has had enough, she let's Kalli know just who is boss.

I hope therefore from the experience of them going through a Hurricane together, Kalli will be a litte kinder to Penny) my favourite.

So too, us in this house have had to be in the same space and keep nerves even. I think we've done a pretty good job.

Midnight was supposed to be the danger period. It's fast approaching that time. We know not what is to come. But we sit, wait, hope, chat, laugh, sleep (not too much) and wish this man, a tormentor, a speedy exit from near Jamaica Land we Love.
