Niel is planning a trip to Florida in February. Who wants to be visited?
My parents are sitting in bed, eating coffee and rusks. When my mother had finished her coffee, there are four sesame seeds stuck to the bottom of her mug, in the shape of the Southern Cross. Jokingly, she wonders aloud what it means. My father, with a straight face, says “It means your coffee is finished.”
That’s down-to-earth sensibleness for you.
