Tis good thanks :) Left Bernie this morning, still whinging about the rain, and about the fact I have worn him (or at least his liver!) out over the last few days :lol: Now being a dutiful Aunty and behaving myself for a while :D

Meanwhile, it's hot and steamy here in Malaysia and I'm covered in mozzie bites.

Boy! the thunderstorms in Joburg are something else. I forgot how fierce they are.

Thunder & lightning for an hour or so and then the heavens opened from 4pm. Bucketed down for hours well into the night, but this morning is clear and sunny again.

Hit 30 degress C yesterday and my first layer of a tan back. :thumbsup:

Enjoy your day wherever you are! :cool:



Eat loads of garlic. That should sort it. :D

Our plants too may have suffered. :(

I love those Jo'burg storms :thumbup:. And the lightning is something else! We had a whopper of a cloudburst today here in Malacca. Had to stop driving because it was so heavy.

Thanks for the tip :). The mozzie bites turned out to be sandfly bites from the two days we spent at Port Dickson. They're very itchy and blistering, around 40 of them :blink:.

That's how much rain came down in such a short time.

It's a great feeling to be here at last. it still feels almost unbelievable. On arrival it was a bit scary to start off with because SWMBO and the boys were waved through at immigration I was pulled to one side and given a "pep talk" about my 23 year old misdemenour. But phew, they let me in :thumbsup::beer:
