ffff FREEZING

Can you hear my teeth chattering from there?? Oy, this place is freezing cold at the moment, but seems we have a real cold snap all over the country ! Nathan says the trip back to PE ( he is on a road trip seeing friends ;-) is completely white with snow! HUH???- this early in winter and well we don’t really get snow except in high lying places.

Gaye (GS Creations) has had some burst water pipes yesterday and this morning due to the water freezing in them-

Wayne broke one of our glass pirex dishes yesterday putting it onto the granite kitchen counter straight from the over- CRACK – split right in half. That’s how cold the counter top was! I WANT MY MOMMY- lol.

I’m just about sitting on top of my heater ( indoor heating isn’t something of the norm in SA) at the moment and am still shivering! Any more clothes on and I won’t be able to move at all! I already look like the Michelin man bWWWWAHAHAHAH.

Internet update ;-)…. Wayne eventually sent the Head office of the Agency we applied at here for my wireless connections a rather *hot under the collar* e-mail. Cut long story short- they are now taking their agency away from the idiots who run it here and will now be coming TOMORROW themselves to put in my internet connections! WOOT_ GO WAYNIE!!! lol So I should have a solid connection this weekend- YIPPPPPPPEEEEE, first time in around a month.

Which means I won’t have to get up at 5am anymore ( well now and again to help Wayne out of course) but holey hell, it’s torture- especially in this cold weather- hahahahaha.

OOOH- some new photo’s to share with you too- I’ve been here on and off for just under a month and a bit and haven’t seen much of the area except the office and shopping centres around the house- lol

so Wayne decided on Sunday we would do a little *tour* of the area. I shot some photo’s out the car window- so they aren’t the best but at least I can share a little of my new home with you ;-)

We’re surrounded by the  Magaliesberg mountain range, and live right on the Hartbeespoortdam.

Some shots through the tree’s from the road leading over the dam wall -

Driving over the dam wall-

This is the road leading up to the bridge above and we had quite a LONG wait for cars to make their way through and over as it’s a one way bridge crossing.

As you know Soccer World Cup fever has hit us like a 10 pound hammer , lol, and as you can see by the cars in front of us ( picture above) everyone has flags hanging from aerials, windows, side mirrors and bonnets!

I LOVE it and it sure has made the country colourful! EVERY place we went past on Sunday had flags flying- check these out

And of course if you didn’t have one yet you could buy one- and just about every street corner looks like this! lol

Sure is colourful huh? Loucee I took this photo just for you GF – hahahaha.
