We have a phrase at home, ‘Gone Troppo’, which means someone has adapted to a native lifestyle a little too well, and has trouble adjusting back. It pays to watch yourself, and it can be a worry when some things start appearing to be normal. I am sitting at Mamba Point and it is hot today; I’ll order a coke.
But not from that man. I know his wicked face very well. I did say, Gimme coke, and he bring it but it is NOT cold i tell you. So I say my fren, i am begging you, this is not cold. But with his very lying eyes he did deny it to my own face. I said God will bear down on your evil person. I know that wicked man I tell you.
So I think I will place my order for refreshments with a more congenial waiter. And as ever, be vigilant, monitoring myself for subtle changes. But so far, so good.
