work! yes that’s what’s been keeping me away from blogging frequently. sadly, i cant write about it here because this place wasn’t for work. i went for my curtains last week. the syrians hadn’t started on it. the fela said they were waiting on my feed back. i was shocked cause i had told them to use their discretion, i had white walls (how can that be difficult?). well the guy now tells me he’ll call on monday with estimates which he did. after the discussion it dawned on me that we just couldn’t do business. i am going to look for a more affordable curtain option. its for the inner rooms for pete’s sake. ( i often wonder if it was peter the apostle that this reference was made to).
my gas cooker has been set up. i am now primed to do some cooking. i have the pots, pans, the whole works. i can now boil water to take a hot bath. the house didn’t come with bath room heaters. i have been on cold showers since living here.
i finally got a flag. a ghanaian one. its interesting to see the curious stares from people i pass on the street. with this very nigerian number plates (lagos: centre of excellence...let's not go there) complete with the flag and then they see green white red and a black star i wonder what goes on in their minds. is he a ghanian working for a nigerian company or just an enthusiastic supporter of the black stars? talking of support for the black stars, i think i’ll make them my team. i can be saved from the bad-for-the-blood-pressure home team. they seem to be slowly but surely working their way towards an early flight home.
i went for a drive round today. drove through the harbour area, discovered (well america was always there inhabited by the red indians but columbus discovered it) some great scenery. when i get a camera i’ll be back there taking pictures. also found a way to the beach from home so at least i know how to get around my area.
about the title of this post. there’s nothing to it. those whom it affects understand.
