Another week has gone by in lockdown, although the tough restrictions are slowly starting to lift here. The days are beautifully slow but the weeks seem to fly by. I'm not really sure how that works, but that's what it feels like. We've been doing our regular chores, reading, gardening, sewing, knitting and cooking. Nothing much has changed.
After two days of sweet potato and pumpkin soup, today's lunch is roasted pork belly, sweet potato, cauliflower and onion, and yes, I'm still eating my junket. 🙂

These photos are of my Amazon Lily. I have several pots of them and they're really easy to grow in a subtropical climate. They flower on and off during the year but now they're all blooming.
I gave you a link for dalgona coffee a few weeks ago and this is the one I made. I had one small taste of the foam and had to scoop it off; it's really hideous. If you haven't tasted this coffee yet, don't bother. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, I think it smells much better than it tastes. I remain a devoted and steadfast tea drinker.
How are you going during the lockdown? The prediction is that it will change the world in many significant ways and I think that will happen. How and what it will change is not clear yet, I just hope we move to a much more sustainable way of living.
Take care of yourself and stay safe. xx
