My South African neighbour from the previous house and her son are coming for a visit and I have been busy with my backyard since morning as usual.
A lot of cleaning was being done because now the dried dead leaves are being collected for the compost and did I mention it was hot?!
There isn't any lunch or dinner as such but tea in which I'm serving some watermelon juice, a small skillet cookie and some focaccia.
Not least because I really don't know their eating habits and if there's one thing I've gleaned from surreptitiously checking their grocery receipt is that they don't much eat a whole variety of foods. There's a lot of pasta and sausages and who eats that at 3 in the afternoon?
Anyway my house is prepped, the food is done, my lunch is done and I have a small gripe with people, that is, why do they use an old spice body shower gel?
I cannot stand how strong that scent is and how it wafts down the hall into the lounge making my house smell like the baths of a swimming pool.
I immensely dislike it and today I had a few terse words regarding the same.
It didn't escalate much but there was no conclusion either.
Edit: just as I was writing this post my guest arrived and I have only just got free.
She liked the idea of juice but wanted coffee instead .
Now looking ahead to rest of today.
