Niono, mid-July

Today is Saturday and I spend it removing the desert from my house, together with the stiff body of a dead frog, I push a few live ones out the back door with the broom, and an assortment of dead insects, I mop and sweep, I dust once, twice, three times – there is still dust – I feel the sweat slide down my nose and wobble at the end of it before dropping to the ground.

You need to spray mist in the air from a bottle! But come on, that wouldn't help.

Becky would have nightmares about the frog, going to show her this later ;-)
