Rain

My last post had me drrripping wet from the heat and talking about the drizzly skyline. Then came Sunday, and 'drizzling' turned to 'raining', and then came Monday (being today), and 'raining' didst turn to 'pissing down'. It's eased up now, by the looks of things, but it comes and goes. I'm still enjoying the misty rainy skyline, this time from our Durban office up on 'the Berea'. ADSL versus trying to hook up my rig to the folks' phone line... no contest.

Bit of a bummer that I'm sitting here grafting, but it's not all work thus far and I'm squeezing in a bit of a holiday as well, so that's OK.

Everyone here has been whingeing like hell because of the rainses, but I love it. Firstly, because I'm a rain kinda person, and second, because it's a lot cooler and bearable for unhealthy farts like me. I know that when the Evil Yellow Eye does make an appearance again, it's going to be even more humid, but for now I'm enjoying it.

It's so cold here, that when our loo leaked and flooded the hallway and outside porch, the water outside froze and now we have a mini ice rink in front of our entrance. Just a minor health & safety hazard.

I wouldn't mind a bit of heat & humidity right now...

No you wouldn't. You *think* you'd like a little heat and humidity, but one day in this and you'll be missing your cold krismis, leaky loo and all.

Woops, left the smiley off at the end and that sounded a little rude; apologies. Trust me sis, die hitte is ongelooflik. Geniet liewer 'n wit kersfees. Selfs 'n pis-nat modderige kersfees moet beter wees as die :)
