Scrawny Old Man

Crabs

Flew to Ghana yesterday (well - 20 days ago as I write this), and stayed overnight with friends. 
Bus to Kumasi then Offinso today - eventually, after the first company we bought a ticket with told us an hour after we'd got the ticket that the bus wouldn't be going for another 3 hours (which probably meant 5). So I got my money back and went with another company, the bus leaving almost straight away.
Then the bus had a puncture. While they were changing the wheel I had a coconut - they cut the top off you drink the milk, then they cut it in half and you scoop out the flesh with a bit of shell, and it costs 1 cedi (20p).
And there was a boy with crabs cleverly tied up with bits of grass. Don't ask me where they came from, we were a long way from the sea.
