Clearing out the garage again!

It started off cloudy this morning, but soon the sun burned it away and those who enjoy the beach headed there for the first real summer's day. Oddly enough, not with a normal November southeaster, but a gentle westerly ahead of what is forecast to be a substantial cold front coming in from the south Atlantic. We will take whatever unseasonal weather we can get! It rained from the southeast last week and now the sea is picking up in true winter manner. I don't think anyone in Cape Town is looking forward to a sunny summer. All talk is of how full the jojo tanks are.
The impending rain led to reorganisation of things that need to be under cover and so another day of sorting out the shed and the garage ensued. Somehow the empty spaces are always filled again and some serious disposal has to take place.
I will mention again how most people were enjoying a day out at the beach or relaxing in some sociable surroundings!
Part of the day involved a trip across the Cape Flats along the N2, R300 and Stellenbosch Arterial road, all regarded as undesirable at times, but I can only say how massively impressed I was by the standard of this huge road network that criss-crosses the Flats, apparently recently upgraded, and the trip was quick and uneventful. Pity those that commute there during the week - I am sure it's a different story from a Sunday morning.
The day ended with a rare sit-down round a fire, and an early night is on the cards. I will be dreaming of rain.
