Sian is back horse riding now and so once a week we drive out to the stables on the old Esigodeni road for her lesson.  Although the road is not too good, I enjoy the trip out there and often consider carrying right on down the road. The stables are quiet and peaceful as not many people have resumed lessons.  A goat tries to butt me when I get out of the car, but otherwise it is nice to just relax and watch Sian ride.

There is great excitement as the broccoli I have been rowing has formed a head.  For ages, although the rest of the plant is quite large, there did not appear to be much development and so I am now so happy that something is starting to happen.

Somebody contacts me and asks if I will give an older lady English lessons.  She can speak English, but wants to improve her written English.  I am not actively looking for work at the moment as I want to concentrate on my writing over the next few weeks. I could probably make a fortune at the moment through extra lessons, but i would have no time to myself or for my family.
