The Weather in Omund Today!

Sorry, there's no names with the article....

Who remembers the thick mist of Oranjemund?

This morning I could barely see in front of me when taking the girls to school, I said to them it felt like I was driving without my contacts! Luckily Cameron is a very sharp sighted co-pilot and guided us through the soup!

For those only waking up now they would never believe we had such thick mist as it is a beautiful clear day outside now!

morning Michael

I remember the mist - used to love it.  But now that I'm older and driving in it - it's not so fun.  It  doesn't scare me or anything it's just that it turns other drivers on the roads into idiots.  Driving too fast on country roads when they can't see anything , makes me angry

So this is how  I am that I have to resort to talking about the weather!

It rained on and off the whole day today - poor Shadow is very frustrated because we didn't go for our walk - I really didn't feel like walking through all of those puddles!

It sounds really bad in the Western Cape, with a couple of towns being shut off from the rest of the cape I believe. When we drove back from Springbok on Friday the Holgat river bed was dry and yesterday when my folks drove back they saw so much water on the way up but still the Holgat river bed was dry.

I got a mail from a friend in Vredendal with photo's attatched.  Water everywhere!

Are those lot down in CT not all sitting on their roofs by now  -  could be according to all the photo's we saw of the floods.  (Thanks for that, Bertie). 

You lot in OM should also start planting winter crob next to the river, seeing that the rain keeps coming down endlessly.  Specially barley for the horses.  Michelle, you can make good money from the riding club if you sell to them.

Yolanda and Wilkie Pote have taken over the land next to the river for their agricultural project. They live in the old stablemasters house down by the bridge. It was quite impressive to see how good their crops are looking when we drove past on Friday! They have also just put up 4 tunnels down there. They've got a couple in town as well and grow cucumbers and tomatoes in them.

It's meant to be 31 degrees here today...wonder if the town will have that braai smell to it this evening?

Real spring day in CT as well.  No wind, sunny, about 24^oC.  Lovely!
