Early early morning rain

Rain from 4 o’clock in the morning is not interesting!

Firstly, you can barely hear the radio you have specially tuned in to listen to ‘off the shelf’ early edition. Because of the incessant pounding of whatever is assailing the roof, you decide perhaps  headphones would do but that’s another disaster of its own to the comfort you enjoyed before it started.

The discomfort means you chose to either to lie face upwards to avoid pressing onto the rather big earphones or totally give up on the radio stuff and pretend to sleep. The Headphones are big and covering them within the blanket makes one cold because it kindo' pulls the blanket from over the feet. So the other thing is to leave the ears outside the protection of the blanket. That means mosquitoes will contribute some love by kissing you and you will have surrendered the head top the cold.

If you decide to abandon the radio stuff, remeber its dark. You cannot just lie there and stare at nothing. Thinking in the dark with open eyes is rather scary, especially when all you see is the ceiling and the shadows within nothing swaying in boredom.
