Still, Where did the lighter fluid come from?

What is it about the magic of being enveloped in sunshine that makes life's finality seem so much less distracting?

Tomorrow is forecast for a top of 20 degrees, the first time North Adelaide will have reached that temperature since May. It was also nice today, if I go to bed really soon I will have gotten away with my first day without a jumper this Winter. The sunshine may also have gained an advantage from my body temperature being elevated slightly while processing the half-a-dozen Mojitos I made last night.

This weekend saw me eat a lot of awesome cake, made by Vanessa, as well as discovering many Cuban party foods. Friday night we went to the Central Markets where I learnt they don't sell Cuban Bread but they do sell plantains. I also bought Mexican coffee and Swiss Cheese (the kind that mice steal in cartoons).

Last night I made medianoche sandwiches, friend plantains and grilled pineapples to serve people along with mojitos. I wore linen pants and thongs to be Cuban, and I put on any Latin mp3s I could find for background music (including Ricky Martin). I didn't have a Che Guevara head t-shirt, but I did have a Mao Zedong shirt for some reason and I wore that, although not many people actually understood the reference.

Gus: "Who's on your shirt?"
Me: "Who do you think?"
Gus: "There's only one person it could be."
Me: "Don't say Chow."
Gus: "I was going to say Chow..."

Too much for me summarise in a review. Instead, I thought I'd share a single takeaway and challenge from each of the sessions.
