Recently I have had the feeling that
everything I own here is rapidly being destroyed due to a combination of the
elements and my ignorance about how to deal with them.
It is the dry season, the land is
parched and there is a lot of dust being blown about by the wind.
Casualties so far; my jeans were eaten by a goat in the village,
my brogues and my trainers have holes in the side from riding my motorbike (who
knew brogues were not sensible shoes for riding a motorbike?), one skirt
severely ripped from very small fall from afore mentioned motorbike, phone
batteries all run down and only Chinese counterfeits available in the market,
USB port on solar charger mysteriously stopped working (assumed dust damage),
dust in everything.
Today, I also discovered a serious termite
problem in my hut. They have been physically removed as much as possible and
Doom sprayed into the holes in the wall but I’m not convinced this is a long
term solution.
Going to buy a large plastic tub to put my
things in to prevent further dust damage.
Today is very dusty in Kuajok
I’ve been doing some interviews near the
river, which is dry too…will try and post some photos soon
