The crickets cricket over the noise of the blaring fan. The sound of frogs croaking travels up from the river. Two dogs lie sprawled out on the tiles. One decides he's sleeping outside tonight. The patio doors are wide open. Let's hope the dogs keep me safe.
Every window is open, the curtains too. I dare not turn on a light for fear of the attack of the mosquitoes. One last jump in the pool to cool down. I throw a towel over my pillow to soak up my wet hair. A bottle of water on my bedside table.
Summer nights in Africa... I live for you❤️
