Went into Kandy town yesterday to do some shopping only to discover that the Perahera is still on. Stupidly, I thought that it consisted only of the parade which took place on the night of the 11th. Oh no! Sri Lankans are not ones to miss a good celebration. Perahera goes on until the 20th, a full 10 days. Kandy town is not only crowded, but there are loud speakers all over blasting out music at 10 decibels. There was one right next to the store I go to. Apparently, it starts at 7 in the morning and goes until 8 at night. I would go mad.
I cleaned out this plant in my garden the other day and got some nice flowers off it. Unfortunately, I also got a lot of mosquito and spider bites. The plant looks good now though.
Finally got around to making a smoothy yesterday. Liz Forrest would be proud of me. Banana, pineapple, papaya, avocado and fresh tambili; King Coconut. No need for sugar, the fruit is sweet enough. Tasted great and I felt good after drinking it.
