Saturday 29 March

Bit of a wild day today, with strong winds and frequent wintry showers. Yep, there was hail and snow in amongst that lot earlier this morning. The showers will fade to give way to a spell of rain tonight.

Although the weather doesn't let on, I can notice that spring is here - in at least one way. During the winter time, when I do this update (usually around 11 am), I have to draw the curtain in this room, as the sun shines on the monitor until about midday. The sun has now risen so high in the sky that I no longer need to do that.

Zimbabwe is electing a president today, with the result expected by Monday. If any candidate polls more than 50%, he is the winner. Otherwise, there will be a run-off in 3 weeks' time. I have made my position clear.

  1. Not much mystery about the election.  At least it's sunny and clear today, no rain, no snow, no hail - sorry you got the showers.  Stay well :-) CATHY
