Time with Afi

I always wondered what brides did the night before the wedding. I always imagined that there would be a lot of anticipation with family members milling around to make things worse. What I did not expect the expectant brides to be had to deal with a barrage of whatsapp messages from last minute friends who decided they wanted to be at the wedding after all and as such directions must be sent to them as well as those sending messages to inform you they could not make it for the wedding for one reason or the other. Those people are ever so polite. I have never done that. So i had to do a lot of WhatsApp messages and fight with my mum too who would barge in every second and ask why I was doing so much whatsapping. I just hid my phone and pretended to be getting my beauty sleep just so she would not be a suffering ewe mother. My mother can worry. What I did not anticipate too was neighbours knocking on the door every 2 secs to ask if there was anything to help ...

They lifted, they turned, they searched and shoved but came up with nothing. “Is this the house of a rich man?” they asked. There is no money and the floor is not even tiled. They were dismayed! What is this ...

 This post enlightens you on the best spot on any trotro. These hints apply when you have a choice not when you are struggling to catch the last spot when you are late for work on a Monday morning. After 10 years of being a bonafide troski rider. I can tell you this is the best "apor" you will find anywhere. 1. The best spot on any troski is the last spot by the window on the lane after where the trotromate sits. This is usually the third seat in the row. With most troki's having 5 rows, this also means that you are in the middle. For the the one with 4 rows, you are in the penultimate row. 2. This is the best spot for many reasons. The windows of almost 95% of Trotros from a sample of almost 100 trotros usually open at this side. This is good for fresh air especially in the evenings when the traffic is hot. 3. You get to swerve the spittle from trotro preachers and sellers. The third row is far enough from the first row where these people usually sit. I have been...
