My second Blog entry on this astonishingly hot night, relates to the shrinking World. We have bought a second home and I am down in South Wales shoring up the structure and making good those many jobs that occur when we invest in property. It's so warm that the work on this occasion is being done outside.
I was beavering away, and a lovely chap walked around the corner. Well he has to be lovely because he is one of my new neighbours. Well, we got chatting because I thought that he thought that I was a tradesman and he had just popped out to offer me a cup of tea. I know that's an English thing and I'm Welsh, but the family will tell you, I am particularly partial to a nice cuppa. Especially when working.
Unfortunately there was no tea in the offering, but it was nice to chat about Africa. Mr Nice is from the Cameroon, and his Mum had just got out of a taxi on a two week visit from Africa. No, she used a Plane, and didn't travel all the way by taxi. I must try and sit down with them and have a chat once 'Mum' has settled into Wales for her brief stay. I have friends from Ghana, and the Sudane and it would be nice to learn some more about the Cameroon. With this heatwave in place, Africa is well in the forefront of my thoughts. Tonight will be like my time in Accra, but unlike Jeffers, I don't have a blinking great big fan rotating on the ceiling and a blinking great big lizard moving up and down the wall. But sat in the flat Blogging, feels like the time I was sat in the house in Accra. It is astonishingly warm, and I long for tomorrow daytime and the fresh air as I work hard to protect our investment.
