The fruit was finally unpacked!! However, something must have gone wrong somewhere, as a lot of the goods were already mouldy and starting to go off. Luckily, I made sure that I was at "The Star" as it opened this morning, and was able to find some fairly ok pieces of fruit to last us until the end of the month. I even found 19 reasonable litchies. Graeme and I made an occasion of eating them and then planting the pips in containers. Who knows - one or 2 might germinate, and then maybe we can find a good spot to plant them, and then maybe they will grow into a decent tree, and then maybe in 7 years' time we can pick our own litchies... Who knows.
I went to try and get a new appointment to have my hair cut. Will have to wait until next Friday. In the mean time, I will just fuzz around...
Discovered that there ARE some dangers that are common to both SA and St Helena - like choosing the wrong shady spot to park your car in.....
Took a photo of a view down Market Street
Hazie I think you look nice with your fuzzy hair. Well! the bird log on the car should make you feel at home!
ReplyDeleteBirdie snow! :-) Do you want me to post a doek...or shall I just send Georgia over with her scissors? But actually, I agree with Penny, you look kinda cute with your fluffy hair. The Island Wind-Swept look. xxx
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about the spoiled produce!
ReplyDeleteRemember to check the out-lying shops, such as in Longwood, when you are in those areas as I once bought bananas and cabbage there when none could be found in town. Having three children to feed, food was one of my major concerns while on the island however I found that there was ALWAYS enough food, just restricted choices.
