Praise the Lord for a safe journey - reminded by RVA chi time that it is not something to be taken for granted.
It's great place - as I am not going to attempt to try and upload pictures on this internet speed today you will have to rely on my descriptive writing - not exactly JK Rowling but hopefully you'll get a rough idea.
The house looks like a elongated circular metal tent - that makes it oval - with a brick kitchen and bathroom attached at the rear. The metal tent looking part is underneath a separate shade roof - which acts to prevent the house becoming like an oven!
It definitely beats my expectations mainly because my room is bigger here than at home, as is the kitchen.
Animals
When I woke this morning there were monkeys (green vervet monkeys) behind our house and just now goats have passed through our front yard, where there is a public footpath to the AIDS clinic. The is geko excretion on the wall in our kitchen - you can tell the difference between geko excretion and mice excretion because geko waste has a little bit of white on the end of it - useful. I have seen loads spiders but none that appear to be lethal. Apparently we may have a female monitor lizard living at the back of the house.
Well I'm itching all over now so will change topic...
The weather here is nice currently 35% humidity - gets easily above 80 here. The View from the front of our house is spectacular - Lake Victoria and a couple of islands. There are also cacti in our front yard - the cacti are will not be the best for rugby balls.
Pretty much set the house up today - water filter going through it's first cycle.
Here's a question for you would you rather watch the water drip through the filter drip by drip or watch paint dry?
Gas stove also set up, pressure lantern ready to try tonight and soda supply = full.
You must be able to tell that there has been some American influence on me already as I'm using words like yard and soda!
So solar will only work as long as the sun shines so I am going to run out of that soon - the sun is setting and we need the battery power for light.
Good morning, Jonny. It's Picnic in the Park today and very sunny, yay! Great to hear from you :)
ReplyDeleteLots of love from Nanna: glad to know you're alright. Don't get dehydrated, will you? I'm just going to read it, but I need a magnifying glass. Talk to you another time. Lots of love, Nanna. Lots of hugs, too.
