Out of control, mad tomato-vine, alas - no tomatoes...
The other side of the garden, post bush-turkey attack and subsequent recovery: looking good! Living in tropical rainforest has both disadvantages (such as bush-turkeys) and advantages (things grow back quickly after having been wiped out by bush-turkeys).
Had late night on Friday. Went to lovely cafe / restaurant called Harvest - out in middle of nowhere (like most places around here). Was treat from dogs we dog-sat. They are very thoughtful and want only the best for their carers.
Service was actually awesome (always something of a surprise) and they had prepared a couple of extra vegetarian options for us. Impressed!
Also had late night on Saturday. Enjoyed a champers (you guessed it, a bottle) with Louise on balcony before making way into town to catch Tijuana Cartel at the Northern. Imagine our surprise upon learning that band was not on until 11.30. PM!
Were dumbfounded. Overcome with bewilderment. Louise had to approach ticket-desk twice to confirm time. Had no idea how to last that long. But we did, it was fun apart from one guy that came dangerously close to being flogged.
Other than weekend of excess just gone - am pretty domesticated. Was thinking of interesting lists to add to blog, came up with one - then realised am going to have to redefine my idea of "interesting".
Handy Tips for a Successful Household:
1. Never permit bush-turkeys to nest in Garden (obviously)
2. Never forget to close screen-doors (you may encounter snakes inside house)
3. Never feed wild birds - they are very predatory (direct descendants of velociraptors)
4. Never plant vines, they are evil
5. Never cover cracks in walls with paint
6. Never hide cans of soft-drink around the house - your husband will find them
7. Never run out of coffee
8. Most importantly: NEVER clean wooden benches with Methylated Spirits
