Its Sunday afternoon. My favourite time of the week, I think. The world feels soft and chilled.
Its been raining the whole night and its cold - autumn is here! Today I am wearing socks (bestemortjokkelesta!) for the first time in months - my toes are not happy, as they cannot dance and look around as they like. My blanket, the most important accessory during South African winter, has just started her busiest season. I am considering to buy wood and test out my fireplace, however I am sure that will be a smoky and not particularly warming experience.
The sun is not here today. I wonder where she is and who she is busy shining on. I think she said she is paying a visit to Volda. Its just what the people there need, after a long, dark winter. I hope she gives their pale skin a fresh glow and lots of freckles!
Here I am, in Cape Town, drinking my "morning" coffee, catching up on whats going on in our world. Beautiful music is flowing out of the radio, and the clouds are hanging heavy and grey over the mother city. And we have a very exciting week ahead - Wednesday 22 April is Election Day in South Africa!
Despite the coldness of autumn; life is good, my friends!
