Welcome to Syouth Efrica, ESKOM-style

When coffee time rolled round on Vince's first real morning in South Africa, we had a power outage. One of many scheduled and unscheduled rolling brownouts to preserve what's left of our ailing grid before it is fixed in, er, 5-10 years' time.


So.

I hauled out an ancient paraffin stove and Selina showed me how to light it without singeing my eyebrows. Bialetti pot plus Illy plus flame plus hot milk = pretty good coffee. We had it on the patio with Andre Khamel, below...

Where's my milk, man?

    Don't worry Estorbo, "I" will not forget you. You're still the one and only step-cat for me.
