16th February 2026

My bedtime reading book is Genevieve Taylor’s book Charred, a vegetarian BBQ book.  BBQ’s (or braai’s for us) feel like far cry away.  The weather today has been absolutely hideous. It rained, heavily, then dried up only for the worst hailstone storm I think I have ever witnessed. It was absolutely shocking, it looked like torrential rain but actually it was really large hailstones. When I looked outside there were piles of the little ice bullets.  I am so over the weather, it is either freezing cold or pouring down, or actually both.  Hurry up summer please, I really am longing for just a little bit of sunshine.
