weird new fact (238/365b)


lots of sorting through old papers and other such things today. among other things i found a postcard of a chicken that i had found somewhere randomly, that i had wanted to send to tira in germany a while ago, but had kind of forgotten about. then i decided to look up the chicken, and discovered that it was actually a coffin. which is a kind of strange thing.

apparently they are called "fantasy coffins"
They are built by the Kane Kwei carpentry workshop in Ghana, and apparently they are a (very niche) thing. i guess you learn something new all the time.

then tonight, manuela came over and spent the evening with us. st.nick banged on the floor while we were downstairs rolling beeswax candles. that was a very excited moment, after which it was hard to calm down. after bedtime we had a nice long chat downstairs huddled near the heater.
