Daily Doings

My friend, Mmathuba, shows me all her choice spots for various foods & household items, colorful cloths and handmade crafts.
Adam regularly stops by the house, his bicycle laden with a heavy bag of produce from his garden - usually cucumbers.
Hamzah is always hard at work in his tailor shop, currently making two shirts for Jim and a tablecloth for me.
Sylvia, Fadila and Mary continue to sew and sell at COLWOD while Margaret creates batik designs and runs her own little store.
I finally threw caution to the wind the other day and hopped on Margaret's motorcycle (with Sylvia taking great joy in snapping a series of photos with my digital camera) - a much more pleasant ride than being squeezed into a shared taxi with five other people.
Jim is as determined and diligent as ever as he tries to learn and speak Dagbani. In addition to the standard greetings and stock phrases, he sometimes manages to conduct actual conversations.
