On my blogging inability...

A ready-made excuse...

"Unless your name is something along the lines of Mozart, Matisse, Churchill, Che Guevara or Bond - James Bond - you best spend your free time finger painting or playing shuffle board, for no-one with the exception of your flabby-armed mother with stiff hair and a mashed-potato way of looking at you, will want to hear the particulars of your pitiable existence, which doubtlessly will end as it began - with a wheeze."

Borrowed from 'Special Topics in Calamity Physics' by Marisha Pessl, with special thanks to Lorna for giving me this book!!!

Fêtons! Let's celebrate!

(In English below)

Aujourd'hui la St Valentin, mercredi le Mouloud, ou anniversaire du prophète... C'est cela aussi le Burkina Faso, une grand tolérance religieuse et des célébrations de tous pour tous! En français, les musulmans peuvent aussi dire couramment qu'ils font leur carême en période de Ramadan...


Today is Valentine's Day, Wednesday, we celebrate Mawlid, the prophet's birthday... This is Burkina Faso for you, religious understanding and celebrations by all for all! When hearing them speak, you might also hear muslim people say they do Lent, when they fast for Ramadan...
