Hello everyone in the CDR!
It's my daughter's birthday today. I am baking a German chocolate cake completely from scratch for her! Hope my frosting turns out right. I'll share some pics once it's done.

Good evening all. Sorry for my absence today. It ended up rather busier than expected.

I started the day with my planned exercise class with my physiotherapist... It hurt.. a lot. But I am improving, so I mustn't complain too much.

The "oil change required" light came on and my car makes annoying noises every time I start it. Double annoying as it was serviced only last month. Imrang the garage and it seems that Ford can't turn the notification off until it appears and it hadn't appeared on the service date, so I ended up taking my car back to the garage to get it reset.

And then I met my friend for coffee... except I nearly forgot :redface: ... luckily I wasn't too late.

Now I am watching France v Italy rugby on tv. France aren't winning by as much as they should be at half time and I am supporting underdogs Italy.

Shame on the car. That is annoying. Glad you are improving, they do say no pain no gain. Not sure who I would be rooting for unless South Africa was playing of course.

Talking of South Africa, our local water situation is much improved on yours.

We have gone from reservoirs at 30% and a drought order allowing the water company to extract water from the River Medway, to near flood conditions on the river and the reservoirs at 75% in about 6 weeks.

They haven't had to take any water from the river because we had an abnormally wet January. An abnormally wet February will see us clear for the summer, although it isn't looking promising. We should get to the summer without too dire an outlook however.

I hope the same can be said for Cape Town soon, Carol.

Thank you Linda. So glad your situation has improved. I am really hoping that we get good rains this winter. It feels like we have had more rain this summer than we usually do, but that could also be me being more conscious about the rain because of the drought. We will see though, It will either come or it won't.
