It's that time of the year when we all want to hug our fridges 24/7 and sleep in a bathtub full of cold water. It's hot, it's humid and even sitting on the couch is making me sweat like a nun in a cucumber patch. Got to love summers in subtropical climates...
That's the bad side of our summer, but the good side is that everything is even greener than usual (and this part of South Africa is so very green). Last weekend we went for lunch at a friends' house, and I know that I've posted photos of their place on here before, but I just can't get enough of it. Hands down, it's one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.

The view was as amazing as always, just brighter and greener. The gorge looks like an actual jungle this time of the year.

Bugs were out and they were green as well. I'm quite sure Lumo would give these guys a hug sometime between taking hundreds of photos and ooh-ing and aaw-ing. eeek

The puppies were all over the place...

Until they found something naughty to do. Then they were very, very quiet.

There were people too. biggrin

I am currently eating a bar of dark almond chocolate crumbled into greek yogurt. The perfect workout food? Not quite, perhaps. But it's been a noble experiment.

In other words,
How am I? I'm damn good.

Where your friends live looks so beautiful! I'm so jealous!
And it's so funny to think of it being really hot there- it's so cold & wet in the UK at the moment frown

The pictures make where you live look very inviting.....and it's warm too!

When my current situation changes I plan on living somewhere that is warm all the time.
Who knows when that may happen. Until then I take it day by day, with a (forced) smile on my face. smile

Take care........have a fun day! biggrin

I know how it feels to melt while sitting anywahere inside or outside. I don't know if South Africa is hotter than here though. Lovely view from your friends' place, here where I live things are getting yellow due to the hot weather, the plats don't resist.

Anyway, I missed your blogs while I was away from SG. Thankfully I'm back to read what you wrote. (:
