The day turned out to be just perfect

The weather office foretold rain today. In fact, it rained hard and stormy winds blew for some time last evening. But, I needed a rainless day to cast the concrete roof on my new house. The morning sky was cloudy and it was threatening. I began to have second thoughts about proceeding with my work. But my mason said we must go ahead with the work because the monsoon season might start in a day or two. It didn't rain today though clouds hung over the sky. It made the day less hot and that was a blessing. In the evening , I am grateful for the good weather which made the work smooth and successful. How was your day?

That must have been the cause of worry for you. During rain, the construction is not done. Good to know that work is complete now.

You're right in saying that construction is not done. But l had to take a little risk and had to do it. In fact the real rainy season here is still about ten days away.

Today is another hot one. Got a lot done and it is 1pm here now. Clouds are good to keep things cool for you.

My native birth place in the north is much cooler and more pleasant but I have decided to live near Kolkata for my family.

That certainly was a streak of luck that the weather held out while you did the roof

You must be very relieved to have the roof safely done. Another box that you can tick on the way to having your own house.

Yes Judy, I am very relieved to have the roof done. It's one of the most expensive part of work and a heavy shower would have harmed it immensely.

We're expecting rains probably late at night for rain clouds are forming in the mountain late this afternoon.
