Flakey bums

Winter in Namibia is setting in and this is what I've noticed so far:

Your bum skin gets dry. The dryer the bum the itchier it gets. I have a feeling Namibians profusely scratch bums this time of the year. Bum scratch time. Scratchy bums.

Bum skin. What a thought!

In Namibia it does not rain in winter. The sun shines all the time. Except for the freak droplets of rain which fell on Saturday. But thats global warming for you.

Dry skin. Skin as dry as the sand around us. Skin as dry as a that flakey fake skin the snakes let go off. Dry dry dry. Summary of a country and it's people.

Nivea does good business here.

But a true Namibian knows the secret cure for dry skin. Badenhorst ointment. Shh. Made right her in Otjiwarongo (TM)

Noses get dry.

Noses get wet.

Your toes are cold in the mornings. For the moment, it is only really cool in the mornings and the evenings. During the day it's back to p-t shorts (for the boers) and t-shirts (for all of us). So it's no use to clad your feet in anything closed, it gets too hot still during the day.
Result: cold toes.

Luckily, beer still tastes damn good, no matter the temperature and cold toes.

Bum bee bum.
