Raining & Cats (But No Dogs)

October is the start of the rainy season in Palembang. For the past few weeks it has been wet, wet, wet. By mid-day we usually have heavy downpour and followed by mid-night rain.

Our factory has been leaking profusely. Although roofing replacement plans have been submitted for approval, it takes time to get through the approval loop and also need to consider the leadtime for ordering roofing sheets. During hari raya, I had to sweep away the accumulated rain water from the warehouse together with my security guard.

Our house's roof is also affected by the heavy downpour. Despite being fixed up twice by the same contractor, the roof on top of our room's ceiling board still leaks.

I have no idea how that guy did up the roof but supposedly he cemented the creases between the roof tiles. But I had to call him back again tomorrow before I swim in my dreams!

The rain also forced the kittens (yes, there were 2 of them from the black mama cat!) from the awning area to the hole behind our fish pond. They have been making lots of noises at night. Still have no idea how to get rid of these stray kittens!! Any tips??
