The Weather all over the world is really fucked up...

ask me, I know. Last night, really unseasonally, it rained. Not just a little shower, but a full-blown Highveld thunderstorm. And it had been raining most of the day too, which is why I got home early to let the dogs in...poor little fuckers were shivering in their pelts. And what do you know, I come out of a client meeting at 11h00 this morning and remembered that I had to go and pick up my new credit card from the Sandton Post Office (incompetence rules, right?) and I pull off the road just outside the client's premises to phone Steph who will know where the PO is. What happens? It starts fuckin' snowing on my car!!!!!! I kid you not!!! Snow, in fuckin' Joburg. I joked about it last night to Steph's sister, but never thought it might actually happen. There wasn't a lot of it, but enough to sit and watch for a few minutes while it flurried about in the wind then landed on the bonnet and windscreen then melted. The radio also reported light snowfalls in other areas, so I wasn't delusional...just in case you might be thinking that.

So, by your reckoning, if we have some sleet in JHB, the weather in the whole world is fucked up!
Go figure......

Well, the heatwave in Europe, floods in the US and Far East, tsunami's in the Far East, snow in Joburg...I rest my case...

I agree with the weather thing...the heatwave here in recent weeks was madness for Scotland!

Add to that the fact the papers here are telling us that in 10 years we'll have bugs in Scotland which wouldn't normally survive in our climate and more midge's that we'll know what to with and I thinking of movint to the Arctic...I'm not up for staying here till we've got tarantulas thanks...the fecking mutants we have now are bad enough!

ok, sorry, so I don't get out often enough, and am not wordly wise, and don't actually care about the state of the sugar shortage in Mongolia, and am limited to the information I can glean from these pages, and have no idea what kind of mutant you are referring to and think that soccer is a game played by the natives and that bagpipes are the manifestation of the male anatomy and that tossing the caber is something 13 year olds do behind the bicycle shed....
