Here are my answers to this week’s Share Your World from pensitivity100

What colour are you wearing today?

I am in the southern hemisphere so it is winter and for the past few weeks we have had cold and wet weather. I am wearing blue denim jeans topped with a warm pullover that I knitted several years ago.

 Will you be cooking lunch today, having something cold, or going out to eat?

We had soup for lunch today. Tonight it will be chicken curry for dinner.

Does hot weather drain your strength or agree with you?

I don’t mind hot weather. At the southern tip of Africa, the summer temperatures reach the early thirties but when we’re further north, visiting game reserves, temperatures can go into the mid-forties. It is usually a dry heat which is easier to handle than humidity. When temperatures are high like that afternoon thunderstorms usually cool things down.

Do you have air conditioning on your property?

Not where I live now but we did have an air conditioner in our bedroom when we lived in Cape Town. We only turned it on when it was very hot which was seldom. There is no point getting aircon now – We get loadshedding several times a day!

Gratitude:
Near or far, when was the last time you spoke to your Best Friend?
Keep in touch. They’re worth it.

I have four best friends. My BFF and I live in different countries. We have been friends since we were seven years old. I had a live chat with her earlier today. Our live chats are erratic but usually last over an hour! She was in South Africa in December and we spent five fabulous days together.

My other friends live 200km away. We text and chat from time to time. I am often back in the old ‘hood’ and then visit my best friends and my family.
