Dealing with the Fleas

Thursday 20th March

Got my days mixed up somewhere. Today is Mohammed’s birthday so a national holiday in Ethiopia though the Northern Ethiopians ignore it since they’re not Muslim. But college is closed so I have a day to sort out the fleas and the plumber.

Spent a very pleasant and productive day with Mekdes throwing out all the furniture, beating it, spraying it and leaving it all to cook in the sun. G assures me this is the way to get rid of them. We also sat down together to do some crotchet and then, after lunch a language lesson. Me teaching English, Mekdes teaching Amharic.
