Chooseday

Tuesday 16th January 2024


We had 2 bouts of loadshedding in the night which seemed to have disrupted my night. I woke up feeling a bit groggy but set out early to take Molly and do my short jog. I even did some stretching afterwards which had both animals watch in amusement.



I arranged to pop in at another friend after I visited the local China mall. Unfortunately I couldn't find what I was looking for but I did enjoy seeing all the wigs and props that reminded me of my skit days. There must have been a shipment delivery too as all the shops were packing shelves so it was a bit chaotic. I made a mental note to return a different day.


I love catching up with all my friends and today's friend is a regular reader of this blog. So she has a fairly good idea of what I've been up to. But it's always nice to catch up in person. She made me some lunch and I had to dash away before a big storm swallowed me up. The heavens opened with hail and thunder while I did a quick grocery shop and listened to the shop's tin roof bounce from the noise. Just as suddenly, it stopped and I was able to guide the car through the rivers on the roads.



Loadshedding kicked in early so sister and I took Molly around the block to pass the time. The air has cooled down to a comfortable temperature and the crickets must be swimming in the puddles instead of singing.
