Currently...(again)
Currently enjoying:
Only having my house ladies in three days a week, so I get the house to myself for 2 days a week. They're still on full pay, so I think they get a good deal.
Speaking a little bit more Swahili, so that I can know have reasonable conversations with people. Still a long way to go though.
Caleb being able to talk and coming out with bizzare sentences, like in the bath the other day he said (and I quote) "What's my father's name again?"
Bethany's funny questions and comments - "Mummy, what's hypnosis"?, "What's advertising"? "Mummy, you know those things that aren't good for you, like sweets (she's quite into which foods are good and bad for you at the moment), well I'd like some more of them!!"
Being able to watch movies with the older two that I actually enjoy too!
Currently not enjoying:
Getting a little bit tired of being called wazungu all the time (white person) can't wait to have a month of almost total anonymity.
The lack of mince.
Caleb's terrible two stage!
Currently reading:
Friska my friend, Patricia St John (to Joshua and Bethany)
Getting in God's Face, Dutch Sheets
Angels and Demons, Dan Brown
The Old Girl Network, Catherine Alliot
Currently watching:
ER series 10 - what series are we up to now?
Currently preferred food:
Bit difficult this one. Our diet is definitely healthier now, as in the absence of beef we are eating more fish and vegetarian food, but I can't say I'm loving it. We went out for lunch today to a friends house and we served the luxurious items of minced beef and broccoli. The nearest broccoli and mince are a 7 hour drive away in Dar.
Currently working on projects:
Should really be working on getting photos and film together to bring home to the UK, but keep putting if off in favour of DVDs.
Currently praying about: Sean and Bec's baby Tom who was born at only 23 weeks; Pam Sinkinson (the wife of the MAF program manager in Sudan, who was diagnosed with a rather agressive tumour on her brain, which is basically untreatable; church again!
Currently wishing for: Good shoe shops again! Caleb's sandals broke last week and I've been unable to find a replacement; a hairdressers. I cut Boos hair again this week. Sometimes it goes quite well, other times it does not. Lets just say that it is now a lot shorter than I was anticipating!! Since we've been here I've cut my own hair, that also turned out to be more than just a trim and Daniel has also had a go.

well done for being the hair dresser Libby, I've given Michael some really scary hair in the past and almost amputated his left ear. One time the guard fell off while I was talking and he got a big line cut through his hair. Poor boy, there was another time when I discovered the clippers were ment for dogs, ( they didn't look any different to me ) I don't know if he knows about that though so best not mention it when you see him, A! Hair cuts and children bring me out in hot sweets! My Mum stuck a bowl on my head to cut round - In the back garden where all the neighbours might have seen me!!! Oh dear, I will pray for you to have a gift of hair cutting, no I wont, I'll pray a hair dresser moves in next door! X God Bless x Jane.

Hiya,
Great blog update! Keep it up - we do look every time even though we don't post comments...
Well done getting up that mountain - I'd seen it in the 3D google earth and was going to ask about it sometime.
Love in Him

Feeling for you re the hairdresser, but believe me it's soo expensive here you'd want to have a go. Deryck cuts alex's hair and does a fait job and I am managing to Trim the twins hair, however I did have no own hair cut the other day. Finally gave in and had a hairdresser have a go at Faithfield the other home of ECHG (my employers) Debbie the scheme manager there had invited Alison a hairdresser round to cut people's hair so I volunteered to be guinea pig. She idd a good job and it only cost me £8.00 not bad---might have it done again. Remember when Lynne's mum had a go at Joshua's hair (he was 3 at the time) and she had it on 0 setting and happily shaved the centre bit off. He did look strange for a while but no-one said anything and I don t think he knew!!!!. Anyway, well done girl!!! ELS
