The trip to the University of Ghana in Accra was wonderful as my hero Norbert Elias was the Head of the Sociology Department at the University between 1961 and 1964 and I was able to visit the faculty and chat to one of the Professors. Lunch was a stunning array of rice, beans, pantain [spelling may be wrong], noodles and chicken washed down by Orange Fanta. Yoghi and Jess showed me around the campus and joined me for lunch in the Refectory. I encountered a multicoloured Lizard outside of the Sociology Department and five Vultures at the back of the campus. Seagulls are bad enough on the seafront of Aberystwyth back home in Wales. But can you imagine Vultures? It is almost like a trip to the zoo, in that I found my host has a pet Lizard. He lives in my bedroom and is two inches long. He is not really a pet, he/she is a wild one that lives mainly on the walls high up like a spider and is known as a WallJecko. I freaked - a spider will never faze me again after bumping into Mr Jacko this morning. I have been humming THRILLER all day, and intend to sleep while standing upright in the lounge tonight. No we didn't capture it, it's too fast and we were all too tired. The African wildlife story includes two chickens that flew into the garden this morning and were promptly chased by the guard dog. Boy he moves fast, and these chickens should have been used in the CHICKEN RUN movie as they made it over the high railings through sheer determination as the hound bore down on them. Woof, woof readers.27 August 2008
