Ørebetennelse og antibiotika

Igår fikk jeg testet ut det lokale legekontoret her. Har visst pådratt meg ørebetennelse i begge ørene etter litt for mye svømming og bading. Men fikk sprøyte i rumpa, og en hestekur med antibiotika, så regner med det er over ila uken. Det er iallefall mindre vondt allerede.
Men blir lite bassenglek for meg fremover… Men har ikke vært det beste været her i dag uansett!

Så da har vi funnet andre aktiviteter. Vi skulle egentlig få spansklærer på besøk i dag, men han/hun dukket ikke opp, så det er vel som så mye annet her nede – ikke så greit å holde tider. Men har brukt kvelden flittig – og satt opp lapper med gloser overalt, så nå er hele huset prydet med post-it lapper, etter tips fra min kjære venninne Camilla. Kjøleskapet har virkelig fått ny stil 🙂

Ellers har vi jo savnet stew chicken med rice and beans en god stund nå – Belize nasjonalrett. Så idag har vi satt igang med å lage vår egen. Den står å «stew’er» as we speak. Håper den blir bra 🙂

Hvis noen vil teste er oppskriften her:
