    So my day has started with a few odd occurences. First of all Janina gave me a jar of Gooseberry jam this morning when I picked her up. Nothing too suprising and I love Gooseberry jam, but I said to her "Lovely, now I just need to swing by the shop on the way to work and buy some bread." So I am driving her to varsity and we see the strangest thing alongside the road: A huge inflatable jumping castle in the shape of a loaf of bread. I kid you not. Here is this huge inflatable loaf of bread with varsity students jumping all over and here is me with a jar of Gooseberry jam and no bread. So I drop Janina off and am making my way back to work when at a set of traffic lights a lady literally FLINGS a loaf of bread (pre-sliced thankfully) in through my open window along with a pamphlet. After reading the pamphlet I realise that Albany bread are having an Albany Bread Promotion Day. Only in Africa I tell you! :-D So now I am sitting here enjoying my morning cuppa (ok make that cuppas) with two slices of Gooseberry laden bread. What an odd morning indeed :rolleyes: [edit] And it just got odder. A business partner, female to boot, just sent me this link: Condom game[^] I hope she is not hinting at something... :~ [/edit]

          That is wierd - especially as I don't want my name in bold! Thanks, my name actually dissapeared yesterday, it didn't seem to like font color="#000080" instead of font color=navy. Very sad - I like hash codes! :( I'll look into it now :)

Surely, in the land of the brave, free and rich, there are peppadews available? I can get a nice jar of them for R9.95 (about $0.95), but I suspect shipping them to you will cost more than the product is worth!

                              To be fair, I haven't exactly performed an exhaustive search. I have a few places in mind that likely stock them, or could order them. :cool: Maybe, subconciously, I'm delaying the full search to build anticipation. :~ I read further about the Peppadews, though, and found that one camp believes them to originally be from Mexico. ... and so the story unfolds.

Yeah I saw that too, hell I heard Americans were invented in the UK first, so what to believe? :) All I do know is that the peppadews I eat are of the variety grown in the Eastern Cape of South Africa and have a patent on them to the guy who grows them. p.s. If you cannot find any near you, send me a nice email and I will send you a jar (with a big fat Proudly SA sticker on it ;) )
