winter

has shown itself this past week and abit. about 2 weeks ago we had the worst traffic because of the (much needed) rain. it came down long and hard, and ofcourse the drainage systems were pretty blocked so there was tons of flooding in the roads and basically everybody had to stick the main (tried and tested) routes... i was stuck in traffic for just over 2 hours, that's got to be the longest i have sat in traffic for years!

anyway, winter is indeed moved in really fast, we didn't really have much of an autumn. as much as i hate sitting in traffic, i don't mind the rain one little bit. we really need it right now in the western cape and i'm seeing some changes to the landscape; little roadside pits of water are looking like mini-dams (and smell less now), the lagoon i drive past everyday is looking much better and the grass is definitely greener.

i finally got around to adding the other jo'burg pics that i forgot to copy from the camera and i updated the post i made.

i also added lauren's baby pic.

ps. lloyd don't worry too much about it being winter here, because it's not really kicked into high gear yet, apparently it's going to be over 30 degrees later this week!
