The Diary Game 22.02.24 : More fear than harm with Cyclone Eleanor! Spent the day at home around delicious foods!!!
At 4am this morning, the country was under cyclone warning class 3, meaning that all businesses and schools are closed.
Everyone needs to stay safe at home and wait for the passage of the cyclone. Mauritius was in danger of experiencing cyclonic winds!
We were all expecting the worst as the cyclone was passing less than 100kms away from us, yeah very close indeed!
Lucky again...
We can say that once again we were lucky with cyclones coming so near and still we find ourself at the perfect location to avoid the wrath of cyclones!!!
Only couple of places recorded wind gusts of over 100Kms/hr, and some heavy rainfall only in the eastern/southern part of the island!
Finally it was an off day for everyone...where we enjoyed some yummy foods and snacks while we were all indoor!
Below are some photos I took this morning while the country was under cyclone warning class 3!
It was only a little windy and some light rainfall! Nothing catastrophic to be noted.
Foods during bad weather taste yummier, isn't it!!!?
For lunch my wife made a delicious Creamy Linguini with Prawns! But the highlight was during tea time...
Assorted snacks! Homemade as usual!
We had mini puff pastries in the freezer, which I baked in the oven until well crisp and golden as you can see below!
They came out super delicious!
Potato & Cheese Samosas / Chili Bites / Chicken Risolle
These are among the most favorite local snacks and work perfectly during the cyclonic days around some hot tea and chutneys!
Enjoy some photos I took while setting our tea time table!
Again no school for the kids tomorrow...but work is back to normal for me!
It was just announced that as a measure of precaution, all schools will be closed tomorrow after the passage of cyclone Eleanor.
So the kids will stay at home while I will get back to work as normal!
More fun for Omar!!!
This is the 3rd cyclone affecting Mauritius since 2024 started and you can imagine how many days have been lost due to bad weather!
There will be a lot to catch up when things get back to normal, specially the kids! Even businesses!
Thanks for reading and wish you a lovely day/evening ahead!
Best Regards!

I can't imagine the anguish that can be felt in the face of a natural threat such as a cyclone.
Important days at school are lost and many businesses close. I hope this measure does not affect the workers' salaries.
The food in times of rain looks exquisite, very similar to what is consumed in Chile in winter.
I hope Omar enjoys another day of impromptu vacation, and I hope everything returns to normal as soon as possible.
It has been a pleasure to read your diary and learn a little more about the island's gastronomy in cyclonic times :)
Greetings of the day my friend!
First of all, big thanks for such a wonderful comment! So happy reading your words of attention! Thanks again for that!
During cyclones, adults are really stressed while kids are in fun mood! But thankfully everything passed on fine, no major problems to mention.
Finally the kids got another off day + weekend, so they will go back to school on Monday now! Lucky kids!
Nice to know that the food looks similar like in Chile...I would love to visit your country some day! Hope this dream realize soon!
Thanks again for stopping by and supporting my post!
Wish you well!
My pleasure.
