Just grillin'

One of the nicest places we have found for simple food is Just Grillin', which is an open air restaurant opposite Accra Beach on the south coast, that provides good, hearty meals of grilled fish or chicken (grilled, BBQ or jerk) at very reasonable prices. We had our own sampling of just grilln' at home, but the kind that is meant to protect us from sleep walkers who want to climb through our windows.. This is really a continuation of yesterday's story, as our team arrived early in the afternoon, then found that they had set up the wrong fittings, and had to go back to the workshop. "Back in an hour, man." Well, 3 hours later, after going to St. Thomas and back, and getting hit by traffic, no doubt, the team was back. At first there had been 2, but for the real fitting, there were 4.

So they were all up in the bedroom, drillin' to put up the grillin'; dust everywhere and I had to suggest that standing on the window seat in dirty boots was not such a good idea. "But he ha' a bad toe!" They repainted as they went along, so it all looked neat. Miss Intelligent of course wanted to be in on the job, and "I want to work like them and paint, Daddy. Can I use this drill?" Fortunately, most people love little kids around their work to break up the monotony. So, I can sleep with the windows wide open, as I had been doing anyway, and know that any human intruder will have to be Houdini to get in. Birds and monkeys? Well, there very smart and can get past such obstuctions. Sweet dreams ahead.
