The Reading Hut got broken into a couple of times now. The weekend before last, someone got in and stole the pvc pipe that I'd just bought for the long drop. They got in by wiggling the window from the outside in such a way that the lever came loose on the inside and they could open the window. When I saw what happened I secured the window just a little by hammering in some bent nails so the lever won't lift so easily.
This just gave me more problems because the next time they came, they simply broke the glass and got the window open again. And stole my little bookshelf that I brought all the way from Cape Town. They also took the only chair in the place and the special alphabet carpet that was the only warm spot on the floor for the kids.
Anyway, I'm sure it must be someone that stays not too far away, for them to come back almost every day to steal something else. So I decided to take a little walk around in the village to let everyone know what happened and let them keep their eyes open for any of the stolen items. So far no-one has seen a thing but who knows.
Either way it was a nice walk and good to see all my neighbors again. I've also decided to call my next exhibition 'Makhelwane' (My neighbour).
