Zambia

I couldn't sleep. I had the radio on (five live) and the subject of the programme was Zambia after the copper mines (I think the price had crashed and the mines weren't employing). They told the story of one guy who trapped rats and sat on the roadside to sell them (for cooking) to passing lorry drivers. With the money he made he bought bricks to build his home. I was going to paint it but I had just bought a bit of clay to play with and "Zambia" was the result of my play.
