I'm BACK

To make up for the lack of posts over the last two months I have decided to insert brief excerpts from emails I have sent out to try and share what my life in Cape Town is like:

Random lists about life outside of work I send my sisters:

(26th October 2010)

1. My room smells like lavendar because I have dried lavender in a pot (made out of a purse) on the wall and in my closet - this is from the Lavender Festival I went to and performed at.
2. I am getting really good on crutches, fast - slow, side to side. I got it down. 
3. At my house we drink mainly spring water.
4. I only need one shoe these days, all my right shoes are lined up by my door. 
5. My new favourite snack in the world is this: take a date, take out the pip, stick in a brazil nut, and add a little almond butter on top. 

(12th November 2011)

1. I can buy 6 grapefruit, a lemon, a box of cherry tomatoes, and a bag of carrots for R23 (thats like 3 dollars). 
2. I'm growing butternut squash in my garden - they're doing FABULOUS.
3. I cooked beets that I harvested out of my garden.
   
4. I make sushi - its my new go to lunch. 

Strange how most of this seems to revolve around food.
