A big, flat, stripey spider lives behind the mirror in my hotel room. The first time that I saw it, it was on the ceiling above the toilet seat.
I think it is a _Selenops_. Wikipedia lists a number of _Selenops_ genus that are native to #Zimbabwe. It also says:
> Selenops is the first spider known to be able to steer and glide when falling, in order to land in or on a tree, instead of falling to the ground.
That was the last thing that I wanted to read while sitting there!
It is the end of the dry season in Harare, #Zimbabwe. The city is famous for the jacaranda trees that flower with a purple blossom. They are beautiful, visible across the city and confetti-covering the ground.
There are a few particular tree-lines avenues that are the most Instagrammable. I've added a photo from a friend, but I suspect the colours are enhanced.
The park where I run, which was green in February, is now a thirsty brown.
I'm back in #Zimbabwe for work. My laptop had signed out of the VPN and all the O365 apps. I need a 2 factor authentication code to sign back in.
These used to come via text, but have been coming via #WhatsApp recently. It's lucky that they do, because I found yesterday that my network doesn't do roaming here any more, so my phone doesn't work. If I didn't have WhatsApp access via hotel WiFi, I'd be locked out of everything.
It's interesting that #Microsoft rely on a Meta product.
