Schoolwork via SMS & Stir-fried Shark with Bilimbis

Hardly two weeks after I started school, I spent the whole week in the house with fever, then dizziness, then cough, but they seem to be behind me now and I should be back to school and tennis and chess on Monday. However I kept in touch with my schoolwork through sms from my teacher to my dad's phone. The last one was "Bonjour, 7 enfants absents, aujourdhui on a prepare la dictee pour Lundi: un, deux, trois, quatre. Revoir en lecture les mots de lecon L3 et L4...".

Things were a little more exciting on the food front. Papa brought home a little shark fresh from the ocean with which he did a "satini" (chutney) with Bilimbis. Upon his instructions and advice, I had it served on a banana leaf and ate it with my fingers. A little messy but finger-licking delicious
