I was washing my car yesterday when a lady on a bicycle stopped at my gate. I had seen her before at the market. She was dressed in a pair of black slacks the type ladies in the 50’s like to wear and a yellow, orange black almost batik look tight fitting blouse.

She had some vegetables to sell. It was very hot and I needed to get some money so I invited her into the compound. It is much cooler because of my extension and there are concrete chairs for her to sit and rest.
