Love for Mma Ramotswe

I have been working my way through The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books by Alexander McCall Smith- which isn't difficult as all I want to do it lie around. There are two particular points about Boswanawa vocabulary/ culture which make me smile.

• When somebody is dead they are refered to as late- almost reverently and quite regretful.
• As well Mma Ramotswe is traditionally built- meaning fat. She does not need to worry about what she eats as she is pleasantly traditionally built which is pleasing to the male Boswaninas eyes- unless he is confused with skinny twig girls.
