Not the first Easter that I haven't been able to get to church but it still felt like something was missing. On the chocolate front we were not prepared and couldn't find any eggs or bunnies on our last shopping trip. However, we were saved by Ally, Sue and Cam who dropped off an easter chocolate package - along with a bottle of Glen Carlou dessert wine - yesterday afternoon. Definitely owe them for that!!
Roast Lamb for dinner - Greek style with roasted aubergines and couscous - and a Fairview Jakkals Fontein Shiraz made it feel more normal. We also managed an illicit walk around the golf course on the buggy paths. Didn't see a soul so no problem with social distancing although the Sacred Ibis, Blacksmith Plover and Egyptian Geese were all enjoying the space.
Unfortunately the internet has been very slow over the weekend - made it impossible to watch movies or online TV - have had enough of Montalbano and Italian food so I've moved on to Dave Robichaux and memories of my time in South Louisiana, although the body count is higher
Monday morning brought us back to routine and the first of this weeks daily workouts from Fitlife.

Thank god for food and alcohol. If I had a box of cigars I’d smoke them. …Have a soft spot for Dave Robicheaux myself, though Coonass food is probably just as dangerous as the Full English.
ReplyDeleteBernie, I think you were the one who introduced me to Mr Robichaux. We have a shared esxperience in that part of the world - although at different times. Got me thinking about making gumbo again
