Top o the mornin, me darlins. Brace yourself, said our rain gauger. 70mm in 24 hours until 8am today.
Wet. Wet. Wet.
You telling me! This rain's been keeping Wendy Wiggill 💯 on the hop.
Every day. 8am. Whenever it rains. Aunty Wendy's gauging.
And Carol "Kidd's Beach Fish Shop" Claasen's taking photos of the Kayser's road.
Crikey! What a mess.
Anyway, the sun's scheduled to come out Friday, not tomorrow as first forecast. So... It'll make it, just in time for the Freedom Day long weekend.
Fri. Sat. Sun. Mon. Three nights. Three days.
Beach bliss. Walk. Swim. Eat. Sleep.
AI tells me that Freedom Day in South Africa is celebrated on April 27th, and since it falls on a Sunday in 2025, South Africans will have an extra public holiday on Monday, April 28th, resulting in a long weekend. This day commemorates the first democratic elections held in 1994.
Imagine... 31 years of en kyk hoe lyk ons nou! Poor infrastructure. Never mind.
Upside is... weather forecast for the long weekend is Clear Skies and temps up to about 25/26degC.
Which means the road fillers will be back at work. A job for life!
Lekka by die See. Kayser's Beach, ECZA.
Ps. Don't forget your foraging and fishing permits. Online. Link in the comments.

There's a bit of Brrr around and the barometer says Change.
Winter's kicked in. That's fo sho.
Beanie. Jacket. Scarves. Especially early morning, evening, especially especially in a breeze.
And now, in the rain, an umbrella or a waterproof jacket. Or home sweet home. Warm slippers.
Until Thursday, according to forecasters, before there's sunshine.
