Back in Jozi

One of the major benefits of returning to South Africa from Asia is that the kids wake up way ahead of time for school. Long may that last!

I tried one of the packets of bath salts from that charming little shop in Ubud, Bali. I came out of the bath feeling like I was doing the moon walk... on a cushion of air. It was very weird. But also very good. 

We got back to find the maid (yes, the one who can't cook) had absconded. Here's an extract from my interview with a prospective candidate to fill the position. Juliet is Zimbabwean and was quick to point out that it's Juliet, "as in Romeo and Juliet".
Me: Its a three bedroom house
Juliet: OK
Me: There's the usual washing and ironing and cooking on occasion
Juliet: OK
Me: The dog will bite you
Juliet: OK

Haaa poor Juliet desperate times call for desperate measures. So did Juliet get the job ? My gut tells me, I think not but who knows. Hey maybe this was her way of showing how committed she would be to the job lol ....ok I'm grasping at straws here....
