I've been working on a particularly tedious bit of proofreading this week, and I can only imagine that that is what is making me lethargic with matters of the mind. The subject matter relates to the need for skills and education in Africa.
On a more interesting note... nope, can't thing of anything right now!
Even the animals are lethargic, preferring to lie on their pillows all day, snoozing, rather than going out into the garden and barking at passers-by. I can't blame them - it really is chilly out as we approach real winter, the month of August. Rumour has it that we are going to have a wet August and I suppose we do need the dams to fill up, so okay, let it rain! We will then have a magnificent display of spring flowers before we know it and the days will rapidly lengthen as summer approaches - something we all will appreciate.
Here's a glimpse of what lies ahead (last year's daisies):
hi Pamela
ReplyDeleteI read your comments now and must mention 2 things: yes WE know we are in the middle of winter as you say Aug is very cold etc....funny thing is i saw pick and pay has costumes in already a week ago!! Ive seen over the years how the shops bring in their seasons fashions earlier and earlier (to beat the other shops) until now we have costumes in the middle of winter!!! I want to still buy winter clothes.
re spring flowers, as i was just browsing weekend away places for end aug in west coast i saw a couple of mentions that the flowers will be out early this year due to very little rain and therefore more sun??? Anyway as long as I see them it doesn't matter.....have a great day!
