We're visiting with our son and daughter-in-law in Florida to get away from the cold winter days in the Midwest.
We sometimes sit around the dining table talking about life in Zimbabwe... working from 8am to 5pm, then sitting out and enjoying the warm, balmy evenings after dinner and gazing up at the sky. We had wide open skies and very little bright lights and I don't think you can see so much stars anywhere else.
Week-ends were always fun. Visiting family or friends and having tea in the garden by the pool, or if it's late in the evening, having a Castle lager or Zambesi Beer. Speaking of the latter, available in those green bottles, my daughter managed to get some a while ago but they had either gone flat or bad as there were some things floating around in the bottles.
I remember with special fondness the yummy mutton kebabs grilled on a braai with chutney. (Does anyone know if it's possible to get those special skewer's we used, here in the States?)
