Coffee, anyone?
Who would like to join Andrew for a cup of coffee?
On Monday, Andrew was looking forward to a cup of coffee after a long day of flying.
He prepared his brew, but wondered, "Why does there appear to be a black lump floating on top?" as he poured out the drink he was so looking forward to.
It turned out to be a drowned cockroach! The cheeky creature had made its way into the coffee pot... yuk!
We are still learning to live with the seemingly indestructible Juba cockroaches, who are thriving in this hottest of seasons!
Christmas in March
It may be March, but our Christmas post is still arriving! :-)
On Tuesday 1st March, we were very happy to receive a parcel posted to us in November!
According to our very happy children, the chocolate coins were delicious and not even melted!
...and an Amazon parcel that had been posted in October!
Lumpy Milk
The heat continues, so out of curiosity, we put the thermometer onto our schoolroom doorstep on Tuesday afternoon:
The heat seems to be affecting the Longlife milk in the local shops. The milk we have bought has been lumpy and on its way to being yoghurt!
"Waste not, want not", my Grandmother taught me... so true to her motto, we used the lumpy milk to make scones. Here are the delicious scones that Joel made on Wednesday:
And the tasty rice pudding Andrew made:
Andrew popped out after work yesterday to buy enough milk powder for approximately 17 litres of milk: From now on, it's this milk powder we will be using, until the rains arrive and temperatures start to go down a little!
Jenny and Stephen were also very pleased that their parcel had finally arrived. Extra special coming late in a way, turning and ordinary day into something special. Yesf cockroaches are not the most desirable of companions especially when invading one's comestibles. I remember our girls sieving out the posho flour. If we do visit in Sept. Will the rains have arrived? I don't fancy cockroach flavoured tea or coffee! Love nana
ReplyDeleteThe rice pudding looks yummy. Perhaps you could produce a cockroach cook book!agh!
ReplyDeleteWow Andrew, coffee with a twist! How does the old joke go..."Don't tell everyone or they'll all want one." Not sure that's entirely true in this case though!!! Hope you are all well. Lots of love to your 5 from our 5. Wend xxxxx
