I'm off the dongle now, so I can blog again. Not too much to report. The rains are back with a vengence. We had sun for 3 days, but now it is pouring again.
Went up to Moorock on the 31st to have a look at the papaya plants. The ones that survived are about 4 feet tall and are starting to produce fruit. Only about 250 left out of the 500 that were planted. 50% loss to rabbits and the squirrels that are as big as raccoons.
Am making hummus today along with my own tahini. Everything is available, but it is not part of their cuisine, so you can't buy it and few people know how to make it. I will get Veenitha to make roti instead of pita bread to dip in it.
Had dinner a couple of times at Gunfire. Amal has some Australian acquaintances visiting. Lovely people, who lived in Indonesia for a while. They too are thinking of retiring and are contemplating moving back to Indonesia to do it. The cost of living is just too much in Australia, as it is in Canada.
I can't believe that a month has gone by already. I am off to fur/claw again today.
