NALA in the Rain

Sometimes, or by now it’s actually most times, I have to travel in the rain. It’s always heavy rain that doesn’t last long but quickly floods the road and I have to stop to seek shelter.
It’s not that I don’t like water, but it doesn’t have to come from aboce when I am on my bicycle. I do carry a rain coat but it’s usually at the bottom of my bag. I have to rearrange my luggage as soon as possible and put the rain coat on top because it is raining season after all.
I always look to find shelter where I can wait for the rain to be over. But sometimes I can’t find anything and I have to just wait in the rain.
When I think of all those places on my journey where I had sought shelter from the rain
… under many porch roofs of little shops where the owners pestered me with questions
… a school full of 200 giggly children
… an abandoned kindergarten littered with old toys
… under a thatched roof that didn’t hold off the rain and I got soaked anyway
… under the porch roof of a bar where locals offered me homemade liquor which I refused of course
… a little shop along a mud road which filled up quickly with many people seeking shelter as well, too many for the little shop and it was quite a unique odour experience.
Sometimes I just waited underneath a banana tree because its big leaves are a wonderful shelter from the rain. And other times I pitched my tent quickly and crawled in there to not get soaked.
Today I didn’t get soaked, but I am very tired … too tired to brush my teeth!
I wish you a wonderful sunny day
Yours NALA

Während NALA auf ihrem Lieblings lila Sessel saß, Ihr leeres Buch las und sich Gedanken machte, wann Tante Corona endlich dort wieder hingeht, wo sie hergekommen war, Klopft es, und hunderte Toilettenpapier-rollen baten um Einlass.
Hallo, was wollt Ihr denn hier, fragte sie erstaunt. ?
Wir waren aus dem selben Papier, wie dein Buch, welches du gerade liest, und deshalb sind wir hier, antwortete die 2-lagige Rolle. Wir wollen deine Geschichten hören, von deiner weiten Reise auf dem Fahrrad durch Afrika, flüsterte die 4 lagige bunt bedruckte Klopapier rolle,
Wir haben besseres zu tun, als fremde Ärsche zu lecken....schrie eine Rolle aus den hinteren Reihen, ...
Das leuchtete ein, dachte sich NALA und bat die Hundertschaft von weichem und rauem Toilettenpapier rollen herein.
NALA erzählte Geschichten von ihrer langen Reise durch Afrika.
Der Kifferfisch, die faule Gauda-Maus und der fette Hamster an der Wand hörten aufmerksam zu, wie NALA voller Liebe von Menschen und Tieren, Landschaften und herzlichen Begegnungen erzählte.
Ja, nun wisst ihr, liebe Leser, wo das Toilettenpapier war, als ihr vorm leeren Regal im Supermarkt standet.
Der Hamster hatte es jedenfalls nicht, wie viele vermutet hatten.
Bis später, Wir wünschen euch beste Gesundheit, bleibt stabil und relaxt.
Yours NALA
