A Black and White Saturday 🔥🐟⚽🚧

Today started like any normal Saturday, me sleepy and dreading the hours to come.
I had an all night church programme Friday night and felt like a zombie in the morning.
Still, that didn't stop my mom from prodding, begging and finally commanding me to go on a journey to the market and get some charcoal for drying the fishes my dad bought in the morning.

Sleepy eyed, grumbling and yawning like a retired fifty year old, I began the short journey, wanting to save some money from the transport, and get some steps on my watches pedometer, I went walking...

Thankfully, I saw some lovely things on the way that were just begging me to take a picture.

Along the way, I saw something that made me smile...

They were repairing the road too. This means that if I had entered a car for transport, I would have been dropped just half of the distance but force to pay the same amount as though I had been carried the full way.

The road repair going on here was a smaller project than the one going on near my house so there were far less machines...

This meant that the surroundings were more animated and filled with people though...

I wanted to take more pictures but I was pressed for time and had to go...

I walked on, briskly yet frivolously, taking in the pleasure of the Saturday feeling.

I saw some boys playing ball on the fields.
Couldn't get a good shot of them though because the field was fenced and I didn't want to cause a scene of being caught taking pictures of them.

Just after the field was the charcoal shop and I had completed my agenda of the outing.

Going back, I decided to enter a taxi because I was running late. I regretted it though for I saw a lovely scene coming up and I couldn't tell the driver to slow down or stop.

I did manage to get this image though...

At home, I took on the process of lighting the charcoal...

Was quite slow at first...

.. then soon we had a blasted inferno😂😂🔥

After the flames died out and we were left with the pure heat from the red white coals, we put on the fishes and grilled on!!
