Not the case, look at the weather closely . . . . this morning at low level winds were ok, but winds aloft were a challenge! ##

Glad you got in a few hours!! (^^)

Not so good!!

News 24:
The South African Weather Service warned of another strong cold front for most of the country over the coming weekend.

A cold front struck most of the country over the weekend, flooding parts of Cape Town and displacing many.

“No recovery from the cold is currently expected,” Elizabeth Webster, a forecaster at the SA Weather Service told News 24.

Cold fronts

Parts of South Africa will be hit by a series of weak cold fronts over the next week.

Two weak cold fronts will brush over the southern west coast of the country over the next 48 hours, especially affecting Cape Town.

A stronger cold front is expected towards the end of the week in most of the country, which brings likelihood of snow and flooding. The SA Weather Service is monitoring the situation.

Nee ou Croccie - ek het hierdie "aspris - naweek - weer" nou uit-gefigure. Ek gaan Vrydag middag Gauteng toe vlie met die Sa Airlink blik. Dan gaan ek Saterdag kyk na die reen en wind by Microland. Dan gaan ek Sondag circuits vlieg - en dan gaan ek MAANDAG my trike Poloks toe vlieg.! Ek gaan die weer 'n vet POEP rol!! Op Maandae is die weer ALTYD mooi - so - dan val ek maar in by die "aspris" weer.

En ek belowe jou as dit Maandag nog K@k is, dan wag ek vir Dinsdag. Ek sal hierdie weer wys! s019 s019 s019 s019 s019 s019 s019 s019 s019 s019

(Onthou dis die laaste kans voor die Nylstroom fly-inn - so dis nou "crunch time" - al moet ek 3 dae vir die &%^&&%% koue fronte wag, of AL my verlof opgebruik!) :evil:

James the time has come...come hell or high water (or low pressure :lol: ) you will be in Polokwane by next weekend :roll: :wink:

Chom...skree as jy blyplek soek. Ek sal a tent opslaan vir ons daar onder die Cobra se vlerk :lol: Sal nie eers n Koelerbox nodig he om die biere koud te hou nie....dis piskoud op Bapsfontein deesdae (^^)

I would offer with pleasure to trailer your trike up for you...but I've known you long enough to know you'd rather have a vasectomy than "taxi" your plane home :lol:
&%#4 work....wait for the right day and cruise on home mate. The one good thing about bad weather is .... it always passes (!!)

Jy het my nommer chom. See you Sat. vhpy

Ek is seker die weer sal Sondag / Maandag / Dinsdag mooi wees! vhpy Ons gebruik maar bietjie van die opgehoopte verlof, en vat net laptop saam!
