Winter Blues

Written by Sana Lwam from the blog Mas'thethe sana on 24 Jun 2010
Favourite this post


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.

I used to work shifts and when I started at 6AM, in winter you could smell that people just woke up got dressed and just washed the face not even brushing the teeth. Tjo the smell and the windows in the taxi will be "fuzzy" and then everyone starts to cough. Gosh!!!

Boots are my favourite  i have different kinds, each boots matching it's coat and bag and now i even add sunglasses heheh.

It's true people dont bath in winter ekuseni, this guy here at work does'nt i had to talk with him aside , yhu bendinukiselwa ngumsintsila wendoda rha.

I hate being cold and I hate dressing in layers and layers of clothing.

It's even worse now when everyone tells you to dress warm. Nxa

I walk a few seconds from my house to the car, a few seconds from the car to the office. I have a heater at my desk.

why must people keep telling me to keep warm. When I harldy feel the cold anyway.... The worst is people suggesting jackets they saw at such and such a place.

I will get a jacket if and when I feel like it.

I dont mind people worrying about me,and my friends do that a lot. Mara these old people with their myths can annoy the *bleep!* out of you...

Sorry Sana- I had to vent!!!

I prefer summer than winter. Maar ke, I've got an electric blanket and a man to keep me warm, phela I'm 1 of those with very cold sdumbu feet.

 Eish I miss those summer unplanned do's, braais and outings. Maar ke, come summer, ngizo gaina icomplexion like motswetswe o tlhapileng ka lebese le cheese.
