We are getting a lot of butterflies like this in the garden here, they are huge (about a six foot wingspan I reckon)

We bought a washing line today.
If I left it at that I think it would be one of my more interesting and comprehensive blog entries. With the clothes drier secured and lunch ordered we were chatting away in a café and in walked the new Peruvian national football coach and sat at the table next to us.
I got very excited by this, I’m not real sure why but it was sort of on a par with when we saw Sven’s looky likey in a dressing gown in Selfridges, morbid fascination.
I thought of asking Franco Navarro (the Peru coach) if he wanted Salvador’s details for the 2022 World Cup campaign but then I remembered that Peru’s coaches normally last six months at the most so I’ll leave it for now.
Later on in the afternoon we travelled back down to Miraflores for the millionth time and I treated us to large luxury portions of Rice Pudding from a street vendor (50p and worth every penny), having wooed Esther in the first place with nights out to buy bags of chips in Cusco, Rice Pudding in Lima is actually a step up on the romantic meals out scale.
In other news, the world’s third highest waterfall (773 metres) has been discovered in Peru.
There was a picture on the front of the paper today and it certainly looks spectacular, although as yet I couldn’t see any toilet paper or plastic bottles cascading down it (which makes me doubt it is even in Peru), but given time I’m sure this will be put right by the local council.
The locals have known about it for decades but they were so scared of the legends that are attached to it that they wouldn’t tell any outsiders of its existence.
Apparently it is home to a blonde mermaid and a huge serpent, so I will be expecting to see them stuffed and in Lima by the end of the month.
