A diary of the festive season

In particular that it is a waste of time, energy and money, to have to go home to some village. In his view, having one's entire life in the City and not having to trek to some village is desirable. Well, I am reflecting upon this as it is a hobby of mine for my mind to sometimes wander off and end up reflecting upon little and at times what others would term 'trivial' nuances.

Well, unlike you Loose Cannon and this by no means is a rejoinder to what you wrote, I happen to be very much a country boy, though I believe not just a country boy. The day prior to leaving, December 17, I am engrossed with getting the car in perfect condition for the journey, I even miss out on the Pan African Universities Debate Championships activities.  Equally, I am excited about the likely village encounters-the old men and women, the young men and the young women, the lifestyle and of course the festive season soccer tournament-I even already know the fixtures!
