Settled, finally

After my time as a travelling hobo I have finally settled into my new Freetown house.  It’s a lovely building on a very rough road but full of lovely charm.

lovely balcony where I spend lots of time reading

The house

Part of the charm is a lack of electricity.  We don’t have a generator so are at the whim of the National Power Authority (NPA).  A phrase you will hear often in Freetown at the moment is “Light don go” meaning there is no electricity.  The one I would prefer to hear much more often is “Light don kam”.  We’ve been without for over a week now but we did have 3 hours the other night when everything was plugged in to charge, water pumped from the storage tank to tank on roof and I popped on my water heater so I could enjoy a hot shower.

Oh the joys of living in Freetown.  Here are some pics of my new bedroom.

Another bed

lots of lovely wardrobe space
