Back to work

Saturday morning I took the motorbike in to work for our standup meeting to make sure everything was going well for the teams. I wore my Vietnamese raincoat because it was a little rainy and also to keep the street spooge from getting on my cltohes from the rear tires of other bikes.  When I came home, I was hoping Diep and I could go look at an apartment down the road a ways.  She had already done the advance work and talked to the sales lady, and I just wanted to get "eyes on" before we started moving forward.  I would have gone with her on Firday to talk to the sales lady, but I had a deadline project I had to finish before the weekend.  I mention this, because it seemed to be pivotal in the reason Diep was mad at me for most of the day on Saturday.  She refused to go look at the apartment with me and kept telling me to go by myself.  Since the weather was crappy all the way into late afternoon, I had a good excuse for putting it off, and by Sunday she was willing to go with me.  Results: The apartment is smaller than the one we are in now, but the service and conveniences seem to outweigh the area restrictions.

So, Sunday's weather was generally better by noon, and as the weather cleared up there was a hint of fall in the air.  Diep and I took a motorbike ride around the lake spying all of the eateries and markets in our future home location.  Everything was going fine until the end of the day, just before I went to bed, and Diep found Megan's stash of candy.  Diep went through the roof!  I don't think she realized most of the candy Megan was stashing was from our trip to the US.  She still had jaw breakers from over a month ago.  Anyway, it was an exciting end to an otherwise serene Sunday.

Pommegranates are back in season! I love this fruit and wish it was available year round.  They are great for your heart and taste good too!  This time of year is good for Magnos as well.  It will be nice to have some of my favorite fruits in season again.
