Oh, nice! (In the tones of Onslow in 'Keeping up Appearances') Load Shedding is back! Just what I needed! Power went out from 02:00 - 04:30 ... which meant that I had to turn the PC off and use my mobile for my audiobook. At least it didn't interfere with my morning coffee!
Funny thing in the news, though. First and article how our president announces South Africa is ready to be a major exporter of green energy, followed by another article that, due to lack of ability to produce enough energy, Eishkom will implement load shedding! What am I missing, here?
Anyway, I didn't have a very good night, and got up rather late this morning. It rained quite a lot during the night, though - when I drove out, I saw my rain gauge about half full! The back lawn is almost completely green again ...
I guess I won't be able to mow the lawn today, not if everything is still wet. I'll see what I can do, when I get home this afternoon. For now ... work ...
Back at home, busy! We had 34 mm rain overnight! None since then, though, so I decided to get the mowing out of the way, first. I mowed the patch in front of the car port, the partition with the now-clean pavement, and around the rose bushes. Then I decided that, with the thorough soaking the ground has got, it would be a good time to clear the pavement outside my bedroom ... again. The grass is growing tall and strong there, I'm afraid. Well, I did my best - but the result ... there's still loads of grass growing strong. I pulled, I swept, I sprayed water, pulled again ... Ah, well ...
Load shedding again, tonight - but we're not affected. This time. So ... I'm going to sit back and relax with mippies for a while. I've already had a cuddle session with Janey ... next?
