Hot Sunny Africa !! Not!!

Well finally found another way to get some posts on my blog... I now know how to convert airtime to data and use my cell phone to log onto the internet... so who's a clever girl now. A month ago I was so 'computer dumb' and look at me now.

I hear you asking what do I mean Not Hot... Well I have never been so Bl...y cold in my life. So much for thinking I was going to be bragging and making you all jealous because we were dying of the heat. Seems we just happen to have landed in a never heard of before 'cold snap' just my luck eh? First 2 days were a 'fluke' just a little reminder of what I thought we'd be having and then since then it has been freezing. The houses here are not designed for cold weather, there are gaps under the doors and the windows are single pained (no double glazing or insulation here) Most of you will know how I just love the cold. I have been going to bed with thick flannelette PJs, soxs, a hot water bottle and several duvets.... And it's even worse now that my 'cuddle bunny' has gone home....

That's right Paul is back at home so if any of you want to pop in for coffee I'm sure he'll enjoy the company... Some of you may want to take along the 'coffee cake' too???Well he likes chocolate cake...

I have forgotten just how slow paced the way of life is here. Things always happen at least 3-4 days later, nothing is ever a rush. My car arrived a week late, and I'm still trying to find out when to expect the belongings... so needless to say we've had to go out and buy winter clothes...

Mum has settled into the slow pace much better than I have, you know what I'm like gotta be doing and going places. KB has also scored a lucky one as the schools have just broken up for 'spring break' so another week off school, I think he'll have forgotten just what school is when he goes...

I'm going to try and get some photos onto my page, seems some of you 'professional' bloggers have mastered the art. I took some great photos this morning of the 'regular' morning visitors, a troop of Vervet Monkeys. Indi spent the first couple of mornings investigating the 'visitors' with caution, but now she has fun chasing them, mind you we've convinced her they're a type of cat, and you know she hates cats.. It's in her genes... But the monkeys have taken to walking along the telephone lines teasing her it's quite funny actually, I think she wishes she could fly.

I tried to buy some 'stash' today as I'm feeling the need to create and that was a bit of an education, all I wanted was watercolour pencils and white cardstock. I think it's going to take some time to source the right places or I may just have to wait till my 'stash' arrives... Wanted to get started on some Christmas Creations. Will have to place some 'special delivery' orders with some of you sooner than I thought.

Well keep on crafting all of you, hope you enjoy your craft day on Saturday, wish I could be there with you. Keep posting your comments and let me know what you're all up to.
