I’m sitting in office doing a little paperwork to start off the week. Here’s a picture:

I couldn’t find a 50cent stamp, so have plastered an envelope in front of me with ten 5-cent stamps to make up the sums. It lends a somewhat comical look to a fairly important letter: apparently we owe a roofing company $280 that never got paid (this is from March). Anyways, I digress:

Saturday
Was able to get back to teaching kids (was under the weather the week before), some which have practised more than others. After Academy rehearsal, drove over to VernAl’s house to pick up our big family photo block, and ended up staying for dinner. As some of you may know, I am a sucker for polentas (I used to get the chefs at NYNY to just cook me deep-fried polentas for dinner – totally delicious!). For Saturday’s dinner I got to try the Zimbawean staple called sadza, which tastes similar to polentas. I should learn this recipe as an emergency food source or something – it seems so practical and better than potatoes that go mouldy, or apples that rot.

Watched the Hurricanes get whomped by the Crusaders with the Zim crew before heading back home.

Sunday
As eager beavers go you can’t beat me. I was up for an 8.30 church service by 7, and Cheryl, Kim and I (CKI) had a great time going grocery shopping afterwards. I was able to cook a Sunday lunch with the extra time available, and Tommy came over. Proceeded to shoot terrorists and criminals all afternoon. In between all that I also received a “come join us” email from HBC which was very nice and thoughtful.

Also had a pretty good paperclip (even though turnout was low), got the lowdown on Dennis’s 48 hours adventure. We chatted excitedly about end of Lost season 4: will definitely have to get together the coming weekend to watch that through. Fong mei is still the cheapest of the cheap in filling our stomachs, seriously: $6.30 a head is great great great.

Hope everyone has a good week!
