I have shelves now, and I don’t live out of a suitcase
anymore! …six months after moving in.
If Southern African
Living were a real publication, it would probably have recipes for ant-and-avocado salads and articles about decorating your pit latrine (1st
step: remove spiders, 2nd step: add potpourri). And my house might be in it. So wallow in visions of my
domestic bliss and feast your eyes on all this TALULAR chic.* Mostly this is an
excuse to show you pictures of my dog.
*TALULAR = Teaching and Learning Using Locally Available
Resources. It’s not just a catchy acronym or a means of making do in an African
classroom; it’s a way of life.

| Sometimes there are idyllic sun-soaked afternoons. |

| And sometimes there are Old Testament-style disasters. These are flying ants (harmless, delicious, but annoying and messy for the way they crawl under doors, fling themselves at lights, and then proceed to die all over your floor). |
