Creepy Crawlies

It was months ago that I was walking with Abe through the graveyard (our local equivalent of a park for young ones to play in.... imagine cricket, hopscotch and just running) and I felt a creepy crawly meandering down my back.  Now I had sleeping Zana packed onto my chest and Abe's hand held tight (we had had a mongoose sighting and he was still processing a new animal) so I refrained from screaming.  I did pray, "Lord, please let it NOT bite me."  

I jiggled a little without awakening curiosity in Abe and felt it stop.  When I got home I realized all it had been was sweat.  The hot season was on the way.  Well the heat is here, full on now, though it will get hotter.  Just recently as I was squatting in the bathroom (we don't have western toilets) I felt a creepy crawly on my arm.  Even the back of hands sweat I guess...... nope..... it was a spider!!

yuck.
no baby buckled in.
no nervous toddler hanging on.

I screamed!

Sometimes sweat is better.
