Well, we are dressed for the winter, but nothing special, because we are only for a few minutes outside. If we'd go for a walk we would certainly wear a cap and gloves 😉
No photos, not even my camera is with me when I go working these days - no time at work and when we drive home I'm only tired and just want to have a rest.
I like the sandals 🤣
Cheers and !BEER

Oh man, it is very cold there and I can only admire God for creating our human bodies to acclamitize to any weather conditions. The desert people can live in severe heat and the snow people can live in the icy conditions.
But the way that the weather changes lately, soon most of the African continent will be desert.
Hahaha, what a chirp 🤣
The day that those sandals fall off my feet broken and finito, I will be so heartbroken that I will give them a funeral and bury them in our garden 🤣
Cheers and thanks!
That's right, the weather has become different from what it used to be. When I was a boy we have had tons of snow around the house and the piles of snow have been 3 meters high. It snows about a month later now and only half the amount, I believe.
I loved my old hiking boots, but they have gone the same way as all the other trash. Maybe I should at least have waved a Good Bye when the garbage collectors came and dumped the garbage in the garbage truck 🤣
Only quick replies today - there's a lot to do and I hope I can at least go online again in the evening.
Hope you have a great day in the heat - we have -12 C ❄️
Cheers and !BEER

A bit cooler here today my friend, 33C and they say that tomorrow we will have rain.
This planet now not only spins faster, but it is also heating up.
You may never see that deep snow again.
Hahaha, I think that one day you will see the driver of that garbage truck walking around with your old boots on 🤣
Stay warm my friend!
Cheers and thanks!
Haha, you say it's getting warmer and our weather forecast says the temperatures will go down to -17 C during the night 😉
So, the frost might grow as high as the snow did back then 🤣
I hope you could get some shelter against the heat today - 33 C is much too hot.
Cheers and !BEER

I told you in a previous reply about the shocking weather status in Namibia, a neighboring country that is even hotter that ours. I used to work there in the 80s and it was HH (Hot as Hell).
We have a town here called Phalaborwa right up north where I also worked for a year and you are welcome to have a look at their temperatures.
In Zimbabwe, I had heat exhaustion after 28 hours on the road and also being blocked at the border post in a very long queue, fainted and ended up in hospital. Had to fly back here with a nurse on the flight in case I croaked 🤣
So, in true reality, I can handle the cold much better than the heat, but I don't know if I could handle your extremes.
Cheers and thanks!
Yes, Zac, I can handle the cold weather also much better than the heat.
Thanks for the invitation, but if I may choose I decide for our coldness ❄️
So, I say no to HH and yes to cold as ice 😁
Cheers and !BEER

We are living here for just over a year now Hannes and yes, it is a beautiful place with everything that we want. Sea, mountains, many lakes, dams and farms and an abundance of wildlife.
When we arrived in the peak of winter and lived in a mud filled small cottage on a farm in the fierce storms, it was not as bad as this heat.
So, we Googled and there is no area in South Africa with a constant 20C temperature. There are no constants and the news is that due to global warming, the heat here at the southern tip of the African continent will increase drastically.
I would say that we are in a very real problem here.
But you know what I will say here 🤣
Cheers and thanks!
