Sports day

I'm not sure anyone knew it was the Olympics here, but you would have thought it was the Olympics by the excitement in our house this morning. It was sports day today, a very serious competitive event fiercely fought between four different coloured groups. Our family are all in green. "We are mean, we are keen, we're the big green sports machine"!!! This turned out to be true and we had a jubilant bunch of greens on the bus home and a small yellow in tears. Yellows won last year so I don't feel too sorry for them. Caleb's class wasn't actually participating, but his teacher let me steal him to watch the big ones. He felt a bit left out having no races to run so joined the age 5 and 6 egg and spoon race. He got second place!! He says he didn't cheat, but I am not actually sure he understood the rules.

Other events this week:

The little girl who injured her head last week was flown home yesterday. Next week, subject to funds, work will start on the balconies.

One of the MAF Staff shot a buffalo and delivered 10kg to me. It's now in the freezer awaiting our next set of visitors.

3 year old Ruben next door had malaria, but has now recovered.


Daniel is the Acting Programme Manager this week whilst the PM is away.

Daniel continues to talk to the TRA about tax issues. One day it will be resolved.
