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 😁

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!
You should move to Quito in Ecuador - they have about 20 C almost all year long 🌞
You have the sea, lakes and mountains, all near where you live. That's great, I'd love to have the sea closer, but there's even a border which I can't cross at the moment.
I do hope that the people and the governments start to think and work together to help our earth to get healthy before it's really to late.
Cheers and !BEER

Hahaha, nope, I would rather move to a colder place with mountains and sea Hannes.
Yeah I know that you have a border to cross to get to the sea, but in Africa, we at South Africa was the first country to open its borders to all of the countries on the African continent and we were flooded with people that call themselves "refugees".
Although there are few genuine refugees among them, most are not and with them came the drug peddlers and other underworld figures.
This world is very sick my friend in more ways than the Covid and we can only pray.
Cheers and thanks.
Usually the borders across Europe are open too and I certainly could travel, but when coming back I would have problems since all states are in lockdown and in fear of the virus. As soon as the virus doesn't mean a problem anymore I can go from Greece to Finland without being stopped at a border :)
The refugee problem exists here too since 2015, but since the virus arrived here, almost nobody talks about it anymore.

Our borders are very porous Hannes and they leak like a sieve. Some minister, or department had a wire fence built that cost millions and the fence is scrap, as the intruders simply cut it open and enter the country. Now with the Covid, they have the army patrolling the closed borders, but how do you protect a border that is thousands of killometers long?
Either a wall like China that is going to cost astronomical ammounts if you include the corruption costs, or I think a better option would be drones (with night vision cameras) and a squadron of reaction helicopters.
By the time that the virus is over you will have your van with a bed in the back and you can take long trips anywhere methinks 😉
Cheers and thanks!
