I know what you are referring to. I did Literature at School and had a credit. So i can read between the lines.
Yes i beleive you. Wen you said reading between the lines, i knew you visited Shakespeare, Milton, Orwell, Hemingway, Artur Miller, Ngugi, Gabriel Robert, Lenrie Peters, Baba Galleh Jallow et al. Well done Serahuleh man
I liked "Much Ado About Nothing" and specifically the Borachio character
Is it no strange that a Sarahuleman is talking about arts instead of money? Am sure Dalton also has not milked cows for a while. |

| Konds, you really know how to hit the nostalgic chord. 'Much Ado About NOthing'is the shakespearen drama I studied for Literature 'O'Level. Times have changed wen Serahulehs are talkin literature and not the diamond mines of Sierra Leone, Angola, the Congos. I used to milk cows years ago, wen summer holidays meant going back to herd cattle and only come home to be told the results of the 'nawetan' football. Wen you are considered a good (gainako) looking at the udders of the cows and also knowing that all herd tallies( AA JOFFNEE)no abseentees. Aha bah! During the rains wen the grass is taller and greener, milk galore, new calves born yes a successful year! AARR YAROOYEN GENDAM GAMBIA |

As a young man, we used to kind of fry the first milk of a goat or sheep. It was reserved for the GAINAKO only. In mandinka its called KADEWO.

I am already there. I was in Yoro Bawol over the weekend and bought some ATTAYA for the nurses
Guess what, on the way back to the kombos through the Kanilai junction, i thought i heard someone call the name Kondorong. I almost said i was Madiba
For once i had to call on a Fula man for help. |
