and some pretty swans that near bit my dad's fingers off.
But unfortunately (and in a morbidly exciting way), we experienced an attempted break-in last night, and a window was broken. I am too glad I couldn't sleep, otherwise I wouldn't have heard a sound.
I am also too glad my dad sprung into action the moment I woke him, and grabbed a mighty pitchfork to defend us both. I cowered behind him with a hammer.
Thank God, the burglars had run off by the time we ventured into the garage to fetch our weapons of warfare.
And because, again, I'm a little morbid, more exciting updates later - we might have to have our thumbprints taken! I suddenly feel like watching 2 seasons of CSI.
But on a more serious note, I'm very grateful my father is okay. I will be extending my stay for a week, to settle things and keep my dad company.
Till then, I hope to post up some things on home-made jam, South African rusks, panna cotta and nasty swans.
Love, Sim.

relieved to hear u guys are alright. got insurance for e window?
wonder if black swans are heatier than white swans (the way black chicken is heatier than white chicken)...for chinese medicinal purposes i mean.
hm. herbal swan soup?
Oh.. and i think geese are pretty feisty when they become territorial. They have been known to ward off burglers...and fellow-feathered cousins. try getting guard-geese? ....or swans might do fine too--maybe dig a small pond. (If you dig it, they will come?)
BUT, that's provided you don't mind returning to a feather-plastered house next time u're back!
EEEEEEEE! you wanna eat swans??but hhm i wonder. but somehow freshwater food doesn't always seem to taste as good to me. except for braised duck.
