Hazy days

So THIS is what the Harmattan is like! Having only ever known PH during its seemingly never-ending rainy season, it was quite something to arrive back in a bone-dry and distinctly dusty city yesterday afternoon. The sun was shining through the haze and there was a cool breeze blowing - an altogether pleasant change from the damp dreichness of Edinburgh.

That said, I woke up distinctly chilly this morning and then had to endure a cold shower. Urgh. Goosebumps aplenty!

Still, it's good to be back.

A very Naija Christmas

Happy New Year! I hope your head doesn't hurt as much as mine after last night's festivities. Alcohol is no friend of mine...

As my brain is not up to anything more than quietly sipping tea I thought I'd just pass on this link to an interesting wee article about Christmas in my second home.

Happy reading!
