weather permitting

Rain! Rain! Go away, come back another day!

I thought to myself a few weeks back that I was fortunate to begin this adventure in autumn/winter because it would not be pleasant walking in the heat of summer to a from the taxi ranks. As it was, I could work up a sweat. But it never occurred to me that I would be guarding against the rain in May. As you know, Durban is renowned for its wonderful dry and warm winters... there is something to be said for climate variation when all the mamma's on the taxis are shocked to be having to battle with rain in our winter. Fortunately a friend from Cape Town is visiting and kindly brought me a few things that I had left there, namely my raincoat!
