The good thing with land is that it never depreciates. That means you expect it to be the way it is at worst. This shamba of mine is no exception (chuckles). I can’t even tell whether the page views are increasing. What I know is that they can surely not decrease. That ladies and gentlemen makes me comforted.
So I have been away for so looong. The weeds have made this place their own. I hear they even got a new constitution promulgated. It has a clause for land division. They want to divide my fuckin land. I just came over to put up a sign that this is natb’s land and is not for sale. Then I shall leave for another several days.
I have never taken up doing something that ended up being a bother for me. That is why I am boldly walking around this place, devoid of any farm implements, seedlings and a sign of rain just to tell myself that am in control. Yes am in control. There is this saying that Manchester United does not fail to score in a game, they just run out of time. Well I am running out of time every time I try to plant something around here.
This year has flown by like those Tokyo trains. It seems I am one of the few who were left behind. Eti the year is ending. I never quite saw how some months passed by. October and August. I never saw you. I do not think I even received salary for them. There were mountains of work infront of me that made me see nothing.
Days ago I was reading some article about the Kenyan street vendors of books. Ok lemmie try again. Book vendors in the Kenyan streets. Whatevs men. So some of those guys make quite a tidy sum at the end of the day. I have never bought/read a book of late. The last time I bought a book was in October last year. Sh 50. I never got to read even the first letter. I offloaded it to my bro telling him it was one hell of an interesting read. I always blamed my non reading to the absence of a balcony in my house. Quite nice huh? I only read a book on a balcony possibly overlooking the maasai mara. Or some beauty taking a shower nude by the river. Yeah that’s how sophisticated I have turned out to be. If I were I lady I could agree for a shag only on Mt.Everest. In fact that would make me know how much that kaguy is able to rise to the occasion in extreme circumstances and other related areas (morning wood, anybody?) ok I digress.
So I was talking about books and balconies. I finally got a balcony. I have two options. Find another excuse or start reading books. Oh oh I got it! I only read from a kindle. I am past papers. Papers are for butcheries. I do not own a kindle. That will stick as I find a better excuse or convince my ass to read.
As for the weeds on my farm. Stay put, enjoy your stay, rihanna is coming to smoke you out.
Toodles.
