The only thing that remains to see is if the pool paint will keep the water from leaking out of our precious little pool! If it does, I’ll almost be looking forward to the warm season, lol!

Today was probably the busiest weekend day we’ve had so far!
First of all, an entrepreneur had come with a team to move the horse fence, so that Arwen will finally have a place of her own and be able to fight the dog over his rice or tear down my plants whenever she suffers from […]
Our house as almost as old as I am, and as with all things, they eventually fall apart. What a shame though that both our sinks (and that would be our only sinks, except for the one in the kitchen) decided to break down at the same time! No big surprise though, when we took […]
Our terrace lizards are vegetarians, which is cool, really, except for one thing:
They eat our plants!!!
An expert in the US told us that Sahara might very well be having silent heats, and that it might be wise to let her interact more with stallions.
First up (behind a wall of protection) was Rio, the Snowman’s colt. At first, he was a bit overexcited, but then he calmed down and the two […]
When I am in Sweden, I talk so warmly about Niger that one might think I romanticize; about the heat, the sunshine, the tasty (fat-free) food, the rides in the bush and the general super slow-slow tempo (which either kills you with frustration or makes you lead a healthier life…). Although we have been spending […]
Hurray - the mango season has begun!!!
There is nothing like a genetically unspoiled super-tasty Nigerien mango! What some mangoes lose in size, they gain in taste. Guess what we will be living off during the coming months… Hey, I told you we were lucky people!!
I am a lucky person. It was always my dream to ride in the bush with Arwen’s future foal running freely by her side. Unfortunately, Arwen hasn’t given birth to anything yet, but when Maya happened to come our way, I just couldn’t resist the temptation of letting her loose, believing that the need to […]
A leather carpet received my attention today. A beautiful handmade Nigerien leather carpet. Niger produces some cool things, with leather work being one of its specialties. For those of you who want to see more screen shots, have a look at Livswerk.
Horseback riding in the never ending outback of Zinder is something all horse people need to experience at some point in their lives. Although there are loads of things you can do better elsewhere, this is one of the things where Niger takes a lead over most other places in the world.
Now our good friend […]
