[ouch!] September started this week, and as well as being the first day of Ramadan it was also the first day of Spring in the Southern Hemisphere. My “happy spring day” SMS message to friends generated various answers, most of them included some swearing and derision, as spring had definitely not sprung, at least not in South Africa. The flip-side of this coin is of course that the summer here has now been declared over, well at least according to the DJ on Radio 2 this week. And while some days did feel cooler we aren’t out of the sand yet (haha) judging by the temp reported by Stu’s car this week (see pic).
Unfortunately things were not all sunny skies and Chevrolet this week, I managed to bash my car on a pillar on Tuesday when I fetched it from the dealership after it had had it’s first 1000km service. The sneaky pillar, painted grey I might add, was lurking in my blindspot and I reversed straight into it. The damage wasn’t that significant, a crack near the taillight and a slightly crumpled bumper, but I was rather upset to have spoilt my lovely new toy.
