Sensitive sandwiches


Glad to see some of them are holding it together.

Cheap vaccines


Wandering casually through the street market, looking at hardware stalls, I spotted a load of vaccines for sale, of several types. Astonished, I looked more closely and found they appeared to have been used and the contents were quite glutinous, though all well in date! And why on a hardware stall?

Actually, they are vials of Bostik glue, cost 8p each (though I suspect that was the foreigner rate).
Another sticky problem solved.

Bohm's Bee-eaters



  A nice diversion when animals are in short supply on  a Game count.

  Mind you this one should check that his diet matches his name.

Happiness is...






...an inverter! This wonderful device with the happy smile charges the two truck batteries when the power is on and then supplies power to the mains circuits when the supply goes off. So far I have had it for nearly a week and it has kept the lights and fridge working most of the time, and enabled me to recharge my phone and laptop freely. It should cope with a small freezer too, maybe I'll get one now.
  

Did I leave the window open?



The mechanic came today to replace the wheel bearings. This afternoon it started to rain, as predicted, very heavily for quite a while, not as predicted. I can't remember at what point I recalled that I had not closed the car windows.
Of course, we all know that tropical rain comes down vertically so won't get into a car with open windows.
Pity Malawi is not tropical.
