Godwin Returns

After about ten days of being AWOL, Godwin, our cook and washer of clothes, has returned. Yea! Actually, except for the heavy load of wet towels and trying to cook in between disinfecting for germs and ants, I kind of enjoyed the challenge of being creative with a cabbage, a few carrots and a can of tomato paste. Nevertheless, it's nice to once again be able to "assist" in the kitchen and have the luxury of taking over on Godwin's days off.
Evidently, he had had an accident with his motorcycle - not while driving but while pushing it up a steep incline after it developed a flat. Somehow, he lost his balance and the bike fell back on top of him, causing a kind of hip injury. For reasons of his own, he opted for treatment in his village rather than at the hospital. From the description, it sounded like his village person made some "adjustments" to the hip area followed by suggested rest and the application of a brownish colored ointment.
Guess Jim will now be easing up on his jaunts to the market.
