I am reading The Fragrance Shed by a Violet - just about twenty five pages in and am riveted!

The weekend was spent travelling (as usual) out of Colombo. Got back on Sunday. Now to a hectic new week.



The long tube like vegetable is drumsticks (called Murunga here). This is one of the crops grown by us on this property.

  18. it's so fascinating to me the different covers used for the same books! like Barracuda - the cover for my copy is completely different. Wonder why publishers do that?!?
