Lunch today and the best choice of Sao crackers,
Dutch cheese liberally dressed with freshly sliced
tomato - a grind of pepper; there may even be far
more exotic selections to better what we ate but I
say a fare this close to our origins is hard to beat;
afternoon tea’s White Wings ‘golden buttercakes’
and the week’s loaf of pastoral bread were baked
before a morning cactus eradication working bee
So we can afford to relax into the rest of the day;
the rising heat’s already had its two bob’s worth -
you won’t see us emerging a-flush with energy in
an effort to thrash more of this succulent cactus -
well, not before 4 pm maybe and then only if the
expected visitors don’t stop by for a cuppa tea
