Day Off

DAY OFF!! Graeme and I slept late, then walked to town for our much anticipated haircuts. I felt a little light headed after my bush was trimmed.

All shaven and shorn! We then strolled down towards the harbor, and found a trailer selling “boerie rolls”! A South African version of a hot dog – just with different sausage in the roll. It belonged to a couple who moved to St Helena from SA 6 months ago - Keith and Michelle Yon. We also found out that they used to live in the suburb that I grew up in as a teenager – Roodepoort! Had a good chat then ate a good boerie roll.

Strolled around the Castle gardens, then had a wander around the museum.

Tried to find ordinary eggs. Got 6 duck eggs instead. Graeme strolled, and I puffed home. I tried to read a book, but ended up zzzzing. Woke up beautifully refreshed.

Had supper then watched a tongue in cheek comedy. Just as the movie finished, and we were about to go to bed, the doorbell rang. Graeme thought it might be children playing tricks, and opened the door suddenly, only to find a man that wanted to talk – at 1.00am in the morning... When he left a short while later (at our insistence) he decided that he would call us Hansel and Gretel instead of Hazel and Graeme, and found his joke very amusing….
