The rain is POUNDING down and we're just about to go out to visit Jo and Nora and the twins for a dinner made largely from Porter Hill leftover produce: eggplant, zucchini, onion, pole beans (from my measly garden!), coconut milk and green curry paste over jasmine rice. Went to sleep last night with visions of frogs and leeches dancing in my head . . . and many more soothing mental oases that'll have to last until next time. I miss you all.
