I heralded the onset of summer a little too soon. There's some weird air swirling around over Botswana or something, and as a result, the Mother Of All Cold Fronts is currently making its way over us on the escarpment. It started raining last night, and it's been pouring down almost non-stop ever since. That on its own is great - I love rain, and good, long showers now means a green, green summer awaits. But the temperatures... Joburg tonight is 2 degrees Celsius. Tomorrow's high is forecast at 8 degrees. That's colder than an average winter's day!

Now, if the Springboks had accomplished the impossible yesterday I would have had something to jokingly tie this in to. But since they didn't and I'm not much of a rugger fan meself, I can't. Perhaps it's because I offered to do the dishes yesterday and Ronwen said 'not to worry, I'll do them' The fact that I offered, could explain the rain, and the fact that she declined, could explain the temperature :-)
