Summer's gone, spring has sprung and gone and now its time for my favourite season winter. I love winter for many reasons. The skinny girls can stop wearing tops as dresses, you get to "bond" with your partner (although this World Cup is jinxing everything) and my favourite - I don't get babalaazed because I go out less often and I can't drink my ciders at room temperature and I have never been a fan of "hot stuff".
But then again there's some little disadvantages to this cold season. You will gain weight if you don't watch it. I have resorted to using a different route when going to work because there's this lady that sells vetkoeks nearby my workplace. The smell is inviting and once you get one, you'll be hooked - hmmm African delicasies
.
Then comes weekend, since I dont go out often anymore, the heavy stews, mogodu/tribe, amadombolo. Another snag is the electricity bill because of the heater, cooking and the long baths to keep warm. As if that not enough, you hit town or the malls and you see the coats, boots, scarves and all - and these costa money but you cant resist to buy yourself one or two items.
Oh! And I just hope none of my friends get pregnant. People now make baby showers the same as bridal showers.
You get told about a gift regsitry or gift vouchers from a specified minimum amount at selected stores. What happened to buying vest and romper/babygrowers?
So tell me what you like, dislike and think about winter.
