Lively up Yourself

Did you know-

The fruit of the marula tree which grows on the savannah ripens, ferments in the sun and brings elephants for miles who come to devour the fruit and get tiddly. It is this fruit that the drink Amarula Cream (product of South Africa) comes from (duh).

In tribute to the humble African tree and cos we had the arvo off, we decided to drink Amarula Coffees (far, far nicer than brandy coffees) and listen to Bob Marley until sundown. Much more fun than the grass seed collecting we did this morning in the most demented easter egg hunt ever 'Wow, you found a rare grass seed, good for you!' (they told us we were going fencing, the liars)

Back to the alcohol topic, I did have to laugh when a South African guy said with a heartfelt smile that he liked nothing better to drink, than a bottle of Don Pedro wine. My only exposure to the 'Don Pedro' brand in NZ is it as a swamp water tasting cooking wine.

Manfred (who swears he was only tasting the Don Pedro to see how it went with his cooking)
