  1. Yikes. Looks like it might get a bit messy...

    Are you in the race?

  2. That was the long range forecast, suddenly back to hot and dry and dusty (which is what we expect). Rain settles the dust, makes it cooler and hardens the sand, but too much rain....you know more about rain than I do.

    We're in the race...the race to finish in 24hours.

  5. Hi Philip,
    Dankie ja, ons het dit in 22h06 gery. Dit was beslis meer moeilik as verlede jaar, maar ons was ook beter voorberei.
    Ek sal binnekort iets daaroor skryf vir die blog (net in lekker vakansie mode op die oomblik)
