Weather

Weather was really bad last night - thunder and lightening storms breaking the heavens with literally only a couple of seconds between each thunderclap. The sky was pretty amazing! The roads were pretty flooded this morning and Annalise and Juliette's school was closed today as it was too flooded for use. Our school was fine though and open as usual. We'll see what happens tonight.
We're all hoping for a flood day or two off school, although are quickly humbled when we talk to our Indonesian staff at school who say their 'homes' were under 2 metres of water or similar. Thousands of people have lost their homes here in Indonesia.
To make matters even more worse, there are rabies outbreaks in Bali and the embassies have all issued warnings. We aren't vaccinated from rabies and have streams of cats around here. Let's hope it stays in Bali!
Apart from that, all is well. School is good. And some 'maybe' good news about the future here as other land for a new purpose built campus is being discussed.
