Ah., but I digress. I was going to talk about the water situation. Yes, the water is still rising in increments of a few millimetres per day. I have had to move out of the Diawando, the lovely new room where I stay when Keita is in Segou. The humidity was just unbearable. I have decamped to my old home, the Saurai suite which lies a few inches higher. I lived in these rooms for a few years, moving out to a tent every time the hotel was full.
