Today is another holiday, it’s ‘Freedom day’, (the 1994 elections were held on that day). April is always great in South Africa; we have Good Friday, Family day, (previously Easter Monday), Freedom day and finally workers day on the 1st of May.

Sadly the weather is not playing along nicely at all, it’s not pouring/stormy, but it is definitely overcast and raining from time to time.
Winter is definitely on the way as well, so it feels decidedly cold just standing outside.

It’s a bit of a shame; I wanted to take the girls to the beach today, I guess it’s better this way anyway, if the weather had been nice the beach would have been extremely busy.

So instead I am watching TV, the SABC is looping ANC speeches, (we all know that the SABC is the mouthpiece of the government and, as the elections are around the corner, they are pushing the ANC agenda as much as posible).

I am also trying to phone some friends so we might have a small braii tonight, (with a bit of luck we will find somewhere under a shelter in case it rains). But truth be told, I am going back to work tomorrow, (for 2 days :)), so I am not wild about having a big night... But we’ll see :)
