J
anuary has been the hottest month of summer for me so far. I remember
that I said it hadn’t been overly hot so far in early December; I didn’t think
then that I would have to swallow my words so soon.
Our office is situated at a home with a lovely big garden, patio and
swimming pool. Sometimes during lunchtime or later in the afternoon we
walk outside, take off our shoes and put our feet in the pool. Then we talk.
The paving underneath our bums is hot and the sun reflects off the water
right into our eyes. We talk about how the cost of fuel is rising at an alarming
rate; we are just coming to terms with the latest increase and already we
are bracing for the next one. Some economists speak of it hitting the R14
per litre mark. And on top of this we have to deal with e-tolls. The cost of all
commodities will go up, while the rand/dollar deteriorates even further.
Then we talk about America. Recently, the temperature in the US alone
differed by as much as 77˚C between the hottest and coldest. The Niagara
Falls froze over and some places recorded close to -30˚C. They have been hit
hard. It is cold. We do not wish to be there.
We laugh about our situation; it is lekker to be South African. Then we get
up and go back to work.
This issue is filled with more DIY ideas, tips, expert advice and projects.
Enjoy every page.
