Yes yes,… Oh Yay!

Its finally starting to warm up in South Africa, and though I know that the cold weather isn’t close to over yet, its at least a sign that spring DOES still exist, and is slowly making its way to us!!!

I’m so exited about wearing summer clothes again!! I hate layering like I do in winter. For those who live abroad, you might think that it shouldn’t be so cold in South Africa as in Europe or North America, but at times our winters can get a bit worse. Not that the temperatures outside are lower, but remember, our houses aren’t half as well insulated. I don’t think that our houses are insulated at all – except maybe for those of us who have ‘think pink’ in our ceilings?

My experience in England was that as soon as I was inside I could almost wear summer clothes because the central heating was just so warm. In South Africa, even if we have heaters on (cause we don’t have central heating), we can’t walk around with summer clothes. I actually wear the same amount of layers that I would outside, and I watch television in a sleeping bag – haha… Picture that!

But this whole discussion was just to let you know HOW MUCH I’m looking forward to SWEATING. To be able to wear strappie tops and sandles and drive around with the aircon on. *sigh* Summer and winter has its pro’s and con’s, but summer is really my favourite :D

    It’s really hot though isn’t it. (Paranoia induced by Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth) Really though it’s like someone turned on the furnace since the first.
