Todays achievements include 7 sparkling clean ceiling fans and getting to 'C' in my 'words Ive learnt recorded english to Ciyawo' dictionary. What an exciting day. Village visits was cancelled, so i (with an amazingly willing Swa-!) took advantage of my lingering cleaning bug and had a spring clean marathon. windows, bathroom shower bays, curtains, walls, floors (with polish!)...you wouldn't know a humid, wet country could be so dusty. Unfortunately I forgot to get a photo of one of my super-clean white ceiling fans while I was up the ladder (boohoo), so a few pics taken at intervals thoughout the rest of the day will have to suffice.

A quick trip to the markets for fresh food supplies- my folks are coming tomorrow for a week! Trying to find some exciting veggies to roast with the chicken Baba Lemon is going to bring 'prepared' for me tomorrow. Did I tell you that a few weeks ago they moved the market?! there one day, gone the next. the old market burnt down just before I arrived, so everyone had just 'squatted' and set up their stalls in the ashes. Then one day the local authority decided it was time to start rebuiling and moved everybody on...so the market is now around the corner in a narrow street with the fish section located right in the middle to ensure maximum exposure to the aroma on a hot, still afternoon.
Upholding a long standing tradition of HungryJacks for late lunch after a cleaning spree :)
