There are dozens of topics we could be writing
about that are more relevant to our day-to-day lives, yet we could not
resist this one.
We have fancied our new place as being fairly impenetrable. It is clean, modern and all windows have screens and tight glass seals (plus iron bars). Our army of air conditioners ensure that we can keep the entire place climate controlled (we don't). Unlike 99% of buildings in Ghana, there are no ants, mosquitoes or other creepy-crawlies about.
At least that is what you tell yourself. Curiously, Mrs. O noticed an enormous squashed African cockroach today. In addition to not knowing where it came from (a hopeless mental exercise), we do not know who or what squashed it. On the upside, all food is kept sealed, so we are not worried about our supply. But it is clear that we are not alone.
On a lighter note, there are several geckos who like to hang out on our screened porch. They are pretty cool. Plus they eat bugs.
