Apart from such culinary adventures, Djenne Djenno is having a jolly week because Keita is here. Today a lamb will be slaughtered and prepared for tonight’s dinner party for him and his friends, the balafon players will come, and AN BE TA DON KE – we will dance. Who knows, perhaps even Keita will do a few steps? He is nearly well enough now.
The other thing I ought to mention, just in passing, is that, ahem, Beigna is back. It was the soft hearted Keita once more who pleaded with me, so I have relented and tonight Beigna will serve at the table again with Baba as usual. Maman will continue with his work for MaliMali, which has suffered a bit recently, so perhaps all will be well....
