red

V-Day day at my school. When the kids are allowed to wear civvies you know you're in for a tough day. Throw in a sugar-charged Bring and Buy and it's Hell. On. Wheels.
Oh yes.... the fact that they were also wearing RED didn't help much.
 
I was asked to take pics of the little reception class and am breaking my no face rule. 
They're just too bloody cute.  
 

A future heartbreaker, without a doubt.
 
  
With all my hart. Aw.

shjoe....

I've been busy. And it's been hot. Fokin hot.
 Not the best combo for a sharp, entertaining blog post but this is me trying.

It's been hot all weekend. Even the kitties wouldn't venture outside until late afternoon. A much anticipated thunderstorm gave us rain and a pretty spectacular lightning display but no relief from the humidity. It's still hangin' in the air  like, um, something warm and heavy.... a Besotho blanket. Yeah.
One of those. Except it's not at all pretty.
I made workcards, chewed ice-cubes and took cold showers. 
'Cause I don't have a fan. Silly me. 

I stood in a rapidly darkening flat for 40 minutes trying to get a shot of the lightning. Took 200 pics of smudgy windows and raindrops and not much else.
 
  
 Taken from the car along the N2 on Sunday morning. Still hot.
