My rant and rave page!

My stories, opinions, thoughts, and randomness

Wicked winter

sing There was something in the air that night
the stars were bright, Fernando.
They were shining there for you and me,
for liberty, Fernando...sing

That song's been stuck in my head all morning, just needed to get it out there!!!
We have a really odd winter, seriously. It's cold one day then hot the next and on and on it goes, the worst days are when it's really hot in the sun but really cold in the shade, ugh what is one supposed to do, let alone wear, in that weather! scared But anyway I was just thinking about the way winter sort of creeps up on you. It starts with the dryness, dry hands, dry skin, peeling nose, the dry lips (especially tragic if you're prone to cold sores and all that, thank goodness I'm not! bigsmile). And then the cold mornings, the icy water in the taps, watery eyes and runny noses from the cold air then the frozen fingers and toes cry nothing good can come from winter, and don't say snow does, because it doesn't even snow here, so bleh! Occasionally I would walk to school and I remember my eyes would water and roll off my cheeks non stop to the point where I would just let it run because I'd get so sick of wiping them away! By the time I'd get to school I'd look like a complete mess lol ah, winter.

So wherever you are enjoy your summer and sunshine!! and think of us little people down here, with the peeling noses and the frozen toes... p
And if you're interested that song is called Fernando and ABBA classic heart

Shutter Island was brilliant!South Africa I love you

Winter is no fun, but how cold does it actually get over there? Aren't you a little bit exaggerating with this?

So today apparently summer did start over here, but believe me, it's nothing like it. No sun, it's quite cold actually and gray, and wet.. sad

Lulixxylu Tuesday, June 1, 2010 6:02:17 PM

Sounds like the Netherlands and Britain have the same weather going on!

I love how 12C is Winter in SA. Ooooh if only it were so here! p

Miss IcekreamIcekream Tuesday, June 1, 2010 8:14:49 PM

lol ok ok i know winter in my city is kiddies play for all of you who experience ruthless cold, but my city is the warmest here, so we're not used to it i guess and 12's are cold for us!!

No exagerration smile many places go into the negatives here but the lowest in my city, id say 7 maybe, any lower is rare

Scientist where abouts SA are you from?

Yes, I think we have your weather the day after you had it smile

If once in a while we have good weather it often isn't coming from britain but from the east bigsmile
