A good weekend

The kittens have stopped trying to remove their cones and are recovering well from their ops

 On Saturday I went on a Garden tour with the local Women's Group where we visited five beautiful gardens hidden behind the walls of Accra

incredible graphic leaf

 I felt more than a little envious of all the orchids, and of course the big houses and gardens, but I have lots of ideas now for making our small patch more to my taste

It was also one of the hottest days I've experienced in Accra

Sunday was a little slower paced with some knitting and a visit to a Kente "exhibition" which was located at the National Museum - it was essentially a pop up shop inside the museum

the Kente that came home with us

then as we were just around the corner we visited the new location opening of a gallery which is owned by the partner of an embassy colleague

Tineke - your comb collection from Cameroon could be worth something!

how Lon fears our living room will look by the end of our Foreign Service adventures!

all unique pieces

 And then as we were downtown we went to the indian restaurant that has dosa and Sunday specials including chhole batura (chickpea curry and fried bread - a long standing favourite)

 to round the day off we went to see Specter at the local mall - the last time we went to the cinema might well have been the last Bond in Bangladesh...

PS - Sherbet dip dabs do not make a good cinema sweety! we looked like we were snowed on
