I get to wear less clothing ....watermelon, swimming, watching my kids playing in the sprinklers...or if there not, suprising them with the hose when they walk outside. Reading a good book in the swing bench in the shade at the end of the day when there is this perfect breeze going by.
I really don't like mr. sunshine waking me up at 6:00 in the morning though...
Summer in South Africa is awesome!!!! Especially on the East Coast - Durban. I love the hot days, beaches, everyones' in a better mood, tanned boys in board shorts surfing the waves. Ah you can't get better than a Durban Summer....I can't wait Summer is on it's way for us.....
Sitting in the public gardens or the old cemetary, in a shady spot, doing some artwork. Selling my artwork on the sidewalk for extra bux when I can.
Many more fruits and veggies available, as I eat mostly local and seasonal.
STRAWBERRIES
BLUEBERRIES
RASPBERRIES
Can you tell I love fresh berries? lol !
No coats, sweaters, boots.
Being warm.
The cool, foggy nites are sooo refreshing after a hot, hot day.
Violent thunderstorms when the rail sheets down --- mother nature in her glory!
BBQ
American tourists, who usually tell us how lucky we are here (slow pace, less crime, pollution, etc.).
Buskers Festival, Jazz Festival, Crafts Council Fair
Sailboat regattas
Sunny mornings to persuade me out of bed.
Going to the beach.
Bbqs.
Getting a free sun tan.
Being able to open the windows and let some fresh air in.
Being able to get 3 loads of washing done in 1 day.
The list could go on and on.
Summer in South Africa is awesome!!!!
What's the weather like in the other seasons there?
Nothing....hate the heat....spend most of the summer indoors....bah! humbug!

If I didn't have to work for 8 hours in a sweltering office without aircon and spend 2- 4 hours commuting on filthy trains with no aircon and then another hour a day walking just to get to and from work then I might enjoy the summer a bit more. I like it when I'm off work though or at the beach - I definitely liked it at Eman's bbq.
We have a great frozen red wine--just pure wine frozen into a slush consistency. Tastes very different when frozen, almost like soda. It goes down really easy. Drink it on a hot day and you'll be drunk in no time.
Don't put ideas into my head - my poor liver has taken such a battering the last few weeks its writing me letters asking for a few days break! LOL!
The Sun, heat, swimming at the lake, ice cream, vacation feeling, doing more things outside, and of course, a tan!
i love the mood it puts everyone in.
and the beer gardens.
and the sun bathing.
but i hate the wasps that seem to think they have a right to come alive in summer.
rebel 8 slush wine sounds gorgous, but how do you make it im being thick, but do you freeze it and then blend it into ice or just freeze it a tiny bit??
