… a lot a bit like Christmas.
Of course, it never really feels like Christmas here, because it’s usually somewhere around 30oC – this year is actually forecast to be 28oC – which negates the snowy scenes, cosy fireplaces and roasting chestnuts therein.
But the local builders have packed up for the season, taking with them their noise, their litter and their “petty” crime, and it does feel like things are settling slowly into the festive holidays.
After last weekend’s time away, I’ve been catching up with the jobs that need doing, including installing the patented WindBreak6000™ next to the braai, which has already made a massive difference as the South Easter continues to pomp. It’s got wheels and everything. (The WindBreak6000™, not the South Easter, obviously.)
Still some tidying up and a few odd jobs to get sorted, but let’s leave that until after the footy and a nice braai, shall we?
