Thunderstorms
I am loving South African weather. I think I say that every time I am here. It is just lovely. The temperature is always comfortable, not too hot, not too cold. As soon as it gets hot the thunderstorms start and it cools down again.

It is amazing how fast it changes. I left work and walked home in clear skies and sunny weather. In the 30 minutes we ate the weather changed and clouds began filling the sky. I told Jenny that I should probably get going if I was to make it without getting wet but in reality I thought I had plenty of time. I played about 5 minutes with Nadia and decided to take off. It was at the point that I knew I had better make a break for it or walk back and get an umbrella. So I made a break for it.

I lost. No sooner had I stepped out of the gate and the thunder and drops came. Incredibly fast changing weather. Even Nebraska does not change that fast. A few minutes into the walk it started picking up. I decided to keep close to the eucalyptus trees in hopes of avoiding the worst. It soon became apparent that it was a losing battle. So I ran. But I had a long way to go. Fortunately someone I knew happened by and picked me up but I still got wet running into the office.

No sooner had I entered the office and it poured for a minute and then stopped completely.

Wow, I love the weather.
