Well, it's fiesta time in GL, so I've been persuaded to invite Shedney's family from Union.They're a truly lovely lot, and I don't begrudge any kind of invitation at all.
So, the night before, Shedney's nephew, GR, turned up with a small live pig. There was a slight misunderstanding when I thought GR might really be Shedney's local boyfriend (not unknown), but that passed over after a major spat.
He killed and cooked the pig.While the ladies chopped up butong, immature coconuts, for a wonderful buko salad, mixed with cream and fruit.
Pascal the French Lutist took over the carving, and did a remarkably good job - much better than the locals, who use a bolo machete, to chop the whole thing into chunks.By the time Thomas and Kerry arrived, there wasn't much left of the pig, and even the camera lens was smeared somehow.
