Hi to all of youJ
I hope to continue to add more pictures as and when I
can. Pics tend to take a good half hour
or so to load each one majority of the time!
But, I do love how the pics tell a bit of the story of life out here.
I have now been here almost 3 months now, so only 9 months
like the length of a pregnancy left till I return! Who's planning my return party?!lol. Sometimes I still can’t believe I am actually
here in Africa. Dealing with each day
and it’s challenges that come my way. I
am surviving the HOT weather, just! Sorry to all of you England people, who have
had a rotten summer, wish I could send you some of our sun and heat!
Battling the bugs, which reminds me the other
day I went to use the sweep/broom to remove cockroach from ones pit
latrine...first time I tried just went further down the door, I then got it and
flicked it with the broom....and then couldn’t find it crawling around
anywhere???!!! My only conclusion is
that I’d managed to flick it and send it flying over the top of the wall that
blocks off our latrine area! I never saw
it again...hoping it plummeted to its death, but who knows!
We have had x2 snake episodes in our pit
latrine areas yesterday! One, while
trying to capture to kill it, on our pit latrine roof, ended up falling right
down the hole (no one thought to remember to maybe recover the hole in the
process, then it wouldn’t have fallen down the pit!!!). So we now have a snake down there, hoping
that it shouldn’t be able to climb up the huge drop!
Second Snake later on that day (apparently they tend to
travel in two’s!?!), was on the latrine door somehow, that one was got and
killedJ However, I have not plucked up the courage to
go in our block of latrines yet!
I hope to continue to do smaller updates every so often,
keep you all in the loop!
God Bless
