What a cold long weekend! The temperatures plummeted to such an extent that we pulled out the winter clothes and blankets. Winter arrived with a bang.
It was a good break from work nevertheless. Among other things, on Thursday we spent some time with Grant, a friend who lives in New Zealand. We were at university together - doing the same degree and living in the same residence, then we lived in the same commune in our fourth and final year, worked for the same newspaper in East London, and both moved to Johannesburg where we worked for the same newspaper group for a while. Then he moved to New Zealand in 2001. We met up with him in Benoni, where he and his family were staying with his parents-in-law. I believe they return to New Zealand on Thursday.
It was great to see him again, and for the minister of home affairs to meet him at last.
On the weight front, I lost just 0.2kg last week. I hope this means things are stabilising. Total mass is now 80.6kg.
I have added a new widget to my page (in the right-hand column on the page) to indicate what the weather is like here in Johannesburg at any given time.
I don't know how accurate it is, though. I certainly do not think the current temperature is 14 degrees centigrade, and yet that is what it reads as I pen this. But I'll keep it here on a trial basis - if I really feel it is inaccurate, I'll remove it.
