Blizzard??!!

Well, the weatherman said that it was going to start snowing again and worst of all, there was going to be so much that we would be unable to go out and get to work. Due to recent experiences, the schools shut, the taxi service was not taking any bookings, people took the day off work, children stayed up late, the radio presenters stayed in nearby hotels (so that they could walk to work after the snow). We all went to bed in nervous anticipation.

I woke up this morning to discover a whopping 5cm of snow on the ground. The blizzard struck with a vengeance. I could not see a way to get to the hospital...

What was I saying about the weatherman being WRONG 99% of the time?

Once I got to the hospital (through the VERY thick snow), I spent most of the day (between work) trying to decide which radio station would be the best one to listen to. Now, from my experience at home I know that there are three or four main stations to choose from (94.7, 5fm, 702, Radio East Rand ;0) ) so, I looked up the radio stations. I found, to my amazement a staggering amount of stations to choose from. I have not yet managed to choose one for a number of reasons... Firstly, they all speak English (sorry, 99% speak English, 1% speak Welsh), secondly, as I don't know the famous people (like Jeremy Mansfield) I have no idea which shows will appeal to my sense of humour/intelligence... Thirdly, they have stations dedicated to particular genres (much like 702 versus classic fm) and lastly, each region has it's own local radio stations (I suppose it is a little like the Kfm versus Highveld - the only difference is that you don't have to travel 18 hours to get a new radio station...) I shall have to keep you posted as to which station I end up listening to the most (as if you care...)

A new health craze at the moment is salt therapy. Yes, you read correctly, salt therapy. This is a gadget containing rock salt, which you use as an inhaler. Apparently it acts as a cure for allergies, asthma, snoring and other breathing problems. If you are interested in reading more, google 'Salitair'.

Anyhow, I must be off now as Bones has just started, and I MUST watch it!
