Shacket

It’s my sister’s birthday. ‘Youth is wasted on the young’, she said. Motherhood is making her philosophical. I said I’d order her something when my connection is better, and she said she’d seen a shacket. I agreed to buy it solely based on the name. Does anyone know what a shacket is? I assume it’s a garment.

Elsewhere, it was a normal day at the Conservancy:
* sweltering heat that hit 38 degrees
* impala, baboons and kudu on the airstrip
* importing vehicles via Gibraltar
* lobbying for rational sense from head office

By evening I was absolutely drained by the heat. It was too hot to sleep comfortably. The night was perfectly still whereas we often have strong winds that help even if they’re just pushing around the hot air.
