Enjoyed a lie in and breakfast at home. Cut up a whole paw paw into pieces - but only managed half of it; some ginger would be nice.

Was just leaving when Salim arrived with a coffee machine (the sort that pours hot water through a filtre). He also had a fundi with him who was going to "make something nice". When I got home later the fundi had tiled some of the floor and wall in the outer room (my kitchen) to make washing up easier. A kind of scullery?

Bought some more spices in the market - salt, pepper and ginger. I realised later that I would have got the salt [chumvi] sooner if I hadn't been going around asking for "bad luck" [chimvi] - no wonder they were looking at me strangely.

Made supper and watched the second half of "The Message" (story of Islam made in Hollywood). Damn that's all the videos watched.
