A sizzling hot day today. I woke up unsure of where I was but I'd slept well so I waited a while to figure it out.
Two of the dogs need medication and I wasn't sure how to give them it. I started off with cheese but the older dog was onto me and spat it promptly out. Eventually I broke the capsule and dissolved it in butter. Tomorrow I'll be a bit more prepared.
The next surprise was loadshedding. I've somehow missed a lot of it due to Solar systems and excluded suburbs. I had checked that it was due at 8am but forgot and put a load of laundry in. Everything went quiet just after the clock struck 8 and the first hour went quickly. But I didn't realise that it had been extended to a 4 hour hour session. I ended up putting my phone on airplane mode and started working on some projects.
It's quite interesting that when I calm down about having no internet, I seem to get things done, mmm. I edited a short video on Modderfontein but I can't post it online yet because I'm running out of data and there's no wifi here. It's been a while since I've had to top up on my South African data and am disgusted at the price of data. Hence my delay in getting topped up, haha. Cheapskate.
I had half a swim at the beginning of the second cycle of loadshedding and the water was lovely. This certainly does feel like a heatwave (finally) this is what I was supposed to be following. The heat has been predicted until next week so I'm fortunate to have access to a pool. I forgot how much I like swimming.
