Brocc-hemic-oli

I get quite sentimental when roving around Eswatini so back at the coalface things were less steeped in fond memories. The coalface did provide some good moments: a notification that we’ve passed to the next round of a recent bid to the World Bank, a plan coming together for an important meeting in a few weeks and lunch with a Maputo friend who has come through the worst of a very dark patch in his life.

In the evening I pumped some iron and then was boiling a pan of broccoli when the resident cockroach appeared on the hob. I became too over-zealous with a can of bug spray and flavoured my broccoli with a nice chemical infusion. That’ll teach me to use lids.
