Happiness in a sea breeze,

There is something so nice about the weather today.
Hot with a nice breeze. It is lovely just to sit outside and bast in the glorious sunshine, with a breeze tickling your skin. I can almost smell the rain in the air, tomorrow we'll have rain.

It reminds me of the coast of South Africa, beautiful and glorious sunshine, with flash showers of pouring rain, but it is different to the rain here. The rain here is cold and piercing, in SA it is warm and enveloping, it wraps its self around you and into your skin, the earth exudes the sweet smell of grass and rain water with hints of flowers in between gusts of wind.

I miss it, I miss the smell of the sea on the wind, the feel of sand between my toes and sticking to my legs, I miss scratching sand out of my hair and my ears, that strange crazy calm that washes over me when I get out of the sea and let the sun bake my skin, drying it at the same time. The idea, the mere notion that I will be baking on a beach in less than 4 months, drives me crazy with joy and happy little butterflies flutter about in my belly. I cannot wait to go.
