The secret to life in a rainforest is knowing that it's always the day before big rains that have the most pleasant climate. Or generally, anyhow. Turns out to be a beautiful day for a lunch on the deck.

Made some sourdough bread yesterday, so I'm toasting it up. Avocado toast is on my horizon -- on the deck.

Ironic, considering the world-class view I have but I'm a lowly housesitter contemplating squatter's rights.
