Catch-22

We have a Catch-22 situation here.  Porks really doesn't want to talk about his work when he gets home. He is more interested in my day. (Well, he probably doesn't want to talk at all, I suppose!) I want to discuss his day as that is the only change in my routine.  So its difficult as I am starved for conversation and he just wants to chill! (Literally and figuratively)  Sigh!  What to do?  So much of problems an'all!

My vegetables are growing but some of them haven't taken, so I'll have to try again.  What has grown is...........







rocket

                                                             

                                                                 beetroot

carrots

                                                     
                                                            swiss chard

cabbage







......and I had my first rocket leaves on my home-made cottage cheese (and bovril from Kelly).

One of the local farmers has given us permission to help ourselves to his tomatoes as he has abandoned the rest of the crop.  He sent a truck load to Kumasi and didn't get paid, so I think he has given up on them.  We picked some lovely  ones, tiny but firm.




How cute is this little thing?  The men the other night had a discussion about Gundi and they decided she is a BOY!  I still call her "my little girl" as its not important what sex he/she is!  He/she is here and that's all that counts.




Her pupils dilate horizontally not vertically like a cat, quite strange.






We went to  Kwame Danso on Sunday afternoon to pay for tyres that had been fixed and Gundi was exhausted so climbed into Porks' shirt while he was driving and fell asleep!

We went at the same time as Ghana was playing DRC and as we went past the tyre place, we heard shouting and realised Ghana had scored their first goal in the Africa Cup of Nations.  Unfortunately for Ghana the score ended up being 2 all.
Here are the locals watching the game on an outside TV just after the goal.  People are the same all over the world when they support their sporting teams!  The roar from the crowd made us smile and we felt part of the excitement.

This is the receipt from the tyre repair shop.  The unusual shop names in Ghana are fascinating to me. Where on earth would this have come from?






On the way home we saw this junior high school bus!  Hmmm, we didn't have preparation like this where I come from!  I wonder how they check if they've passed?

Then we came home and switched on the TV.  There was a discussion on the new animated movie called "Zambezia" and one of the directors had this T-shirt on!
(You'll have to watch this one, Pips, I think its about Zim!)

Well, (smile) he couldn't have been talking to me because here are the latest audience results:
