Hot water

Hot shower! First one since November. Oh lord I feel clean. Sure beats the bucket or the river. Was strangely feverish last night. Thought that Malaria was coming on. But it has abated. Back to the island today, goodbye coffee, goodbye French pastries, goodbye beer, hello grated banana, boiled banana, baked banana

alive and an on a caffeine buzz

This is more to keep the account alive...

Briefly near electricty (and coffee!) and about two thirds of the way through FW.
What can I tell you? Circumcision was fun... thought he participants may have thought otherwise... The boys danced, the mamas cried... and I helped build the seclusion fence.. the first white man to do so it seems... Who knew I would turn out to be so handy with dried coconut leaves. Have anthropologists blogged about FW and sexual attraction? I have a few secret crushes to entertain me during the black black nights, but problem is they are all relatives.
I have 9 mamas and 13 or so Dads some of whom are at least 15 years younger, countless brothers and sisters.... hence I am never alone and privacy is just antisocial behaviour...
Well this is costing me an arm a leg and quite possibly a foreskin. Only 50 days to go before my next coffee!
