"DUIDELIK!!"

A good friend of mine (5 years old) described the scenery in Antarctica as "DUIDELIK!", Afrikaans for "Clear".  (Thanks for the feedback Charl, I hope you don't mind me using that as the title of this post.)


As the sun has just crept over the horizon the last few days (with the approaching winter); and since our weatherman insists, despite the current 43 knot winds, there is a storm starting tomorrow; I think the sun has set.  By that I mean we entered our winters' night of nearly 2 months and I hope to see the sun again only in July.  


As children of Africa I am sure the absence of our beloved sun will render some psychological challenges.  


On the bright side we are not ancient Egyptians who may have interpreted the sun's absence as the need for human sacrifice or the like.  I wonder who we would have chosen...just imagine the pressure for social acceptance in those times.  


Duidelik.
