I slipped again today. This time on the way to the shops. Luckily it was near a gate and the pillar stopped me hitting the floor. Unfortunately, the pillar did not stop my left footing landing in the frog ditch. I could have blamed the frog that distracted me as I ambled along the path. A crazy creature that lept infront of me, jumped to my right and then headed towards me while I was taking a step. I shuffled, he made it through the gap and into the water. There's no Highway Code in Ghana. "Fancy driving on the right" I thought. I could have blamed it on my sandals after yesterdays fall. But that would have been unfair as I was wearing a new pair that I had haggled for at the Market. Nope, it was plain stupidity. Wet wood, smooth soles = no grip. Luckily only my pride was hurt, anyway I had my sunglasses to hide behind and I just knew that no one could see my sodden left leg. "Hey ho" as Pauline says.
