Grenadillas and Red Gardenias

Finally, a picture of the house I moved to in July. Vuyo is sitting on the steps, if you can see him.
The front garden.
And the two puppy dogs taking a nap on Sunday.



Three more weeks left at my internship. I drive around and am still amazed that I have lived overseas - and in Cape Town. And what timing, South Africa is on the cusp of winning the rugby World Cup. The final is next Saturday against England. They were both in the same group and South Africa beat them then and England is the reigning champions. Excitement.





The other week at my house we had a bit of a battle. I told Cat that she couldn't take a shower because there was a crack in the pipes and she asked about a bath and I told her that the stopper had been lost, maybe a dog had carried it off. She went to the kitchen sink where we have 5 or 6 stoppers and started throwing them at me and trying to throw them in my coffee.





Jules came home and we ambushed him, Fritz just focused on washing dishes. So some pandemonium as we threw stoppers at each other. When I returned to my coffee, I found a sponge sitting in it - Fritz did not remain a passive observer.

I had my first taste of a grenadilla yesterday. Slimy yellow goodness.

Is a Grenadilla a passion fruit?

I had a dream last night about you having bathroom stoppers thrown at you, and then they turned into biscuits! You were doing a pretty good job of catching them. What a delicious dream! --aurora
