Ramblings from Zambia....

Ants in my pants...........

.......well not yet, but it could be anytime. Had a lovely lazy day off - going to the Taifa market to buy fabric and then cutting out more curtains and possibly sewing them later! Lovely birds in the garden today and managed to capture a weaver bird which I was going to post but then in the afternoon I was in the garden and my neighbour was about to come and visit in his bare feet when he suddenly stopped....

ANTS......all over the bottom of the garden coming out of their holes........they are the biting ants and not at all pleasant. Now I don't know a lot about ants but I know to stay away from these ones. I have a great respect for them. In villages these lovely creatures are known to kill chickens and in some cases babies. They crawl all over the animals and bite at one time.......its horrible.

So the moral of the story is to try and not get these ants in your pants. I was attacked once by them and had to rush to a house and take all my clothes off - funny for the onlookers but not for me. Am hoping they don't come into the house tonight!! If there is no blip tomorrow you will know I have been attacked by ants!!
