I am living the good life here—Avdi feeds me sumptuous steaks and gave me a fancy homemade soap!  Such decadence.  (I should mention the kids, including the new girl, got fed steaks as well.  We’re egalitarian here, not élite snobs.)

My recent sowings (plus the obligatory weeds) are germinating already, so hopefully we’ll get more food going into fall, or winter, or whatever the hell they have here!
