1426
All the best in 1426! Today is the first day of the new Islamic year, marking 1426 years since Prophet Muhammad 
migrated from Mecca to Medina, with Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq his only traveling companion.
This year, the hijri calendar and the chinese calendar met: yesterday was the Chinese New Year. The end result is a five-day weekend for everybody. Unlike the last two years, there has been no record flooding, no flooding at all for that matter. In fact, I’d say we’re having a drought. It rains every other day or so, but the rains are light and don’t last long. The last two years have seen incessant day-long heavy rains around this time. The clay soils in my backyard are so dry they have cracked open. The trees don’t seem to be suffering yet though.
It has indeed been hot lately. When I had a shower early this morning the water wasn’t really cold. In the past, early morning showers without a heater meant darting in and out of the shower, usually with a few screams. No screams this morning, nor was there any darting. Hot indeed.
