A Tomato a Day

I love tomatoes. This particular tomato was special: Mommy planted it herself. It was her first attempt to grow tomatoes, so she did not have any expectation. Not only did it bear fruit, but the tomatoes turned out great, very sweet and juicy. The green chilli plant next to it was also very productive, having produced about half kg and still going strong! Some might say Mommy has green fingers, but they don't look green at all?!?

Farewell, BIS Phuket...

Janelle and Andre came home last Friday with their shirts full of goodbyes and well-wishing. It was the last day of the school year, but with our impending move to Bangkok, also their last day at school. They reminded Mommy not to wash their shirts because of the sentimental value, so Mommy reluctantly hung them for display.

Costa Rica Pitaya 火龍果

Daddy bought 4 dragon fruits from the market yesterday. They weighed a little over 2kg and cost THB 66 (just under S$3). Mommy loves this juicy fruit, especially the deep purple/fuchsia Costa Rica varietal. I tried some too. Even though the color comes off our hands and skin, it could easily stain and maybe ruin our clothes. But we all share one conclusion after going to the toilet: Purple Poop!

Contemplation...

Daddy will go to Bangkok this weekend to look at schools and apartments for our impending relocation. He wanted Mommy and me to go with him, but she was worried about leaving Janelle and Andre alone with the dogs at home. They finally decided Daddy would go alone, so he could cover more ground. Mommy reminded him to take the camera and bring back photos and videos of the places he would visit. I'll miss him. Here's wishing Daddy a safe and fruitful trip...
