MY DOWNTIME: Author Tuelo Gabonewe

I'm listening to Benga Blues by Winyo. I heard the guy sing in Kenya and I was blown away. I bought the CD and it's been on repeat ever since.

Reading Binyavanga Wainaina's One Day I Will Write About this Place. I've just finished reading Mia Couto's The Tuner of Silences.

WatchingRhythm City, news and live football.

Browsing - one of the young authors I met in Kenya got me interested in the Google Hangouts concept.

Eating Ethiopian food for the first time. In Nairobi the zilzil, the injera and firfir are proper. I will be stuffing my face with that stuff more often from now on.

Wearing lots of clothes. Winter is in the house.

Gabonewe, author of 'Planet Savage', recently participated in the Granta Writing Conference in Nairobi, Kenya
