Power cut



Sorry, I seem to be getting a bit slack at blogging and Daniel has managed to get out of it again by going to South Africa! It's just life is quite normal, at least it seems normal to me and it doesn't seem worth writing about.

Caleb recovered from his illness, it must have been a virus after all. However neurotic mother that I am, I e-mailed about 4 doctors and had 4 malaria tests done. In my defence he did have a high fever for 6-7 days and you do hear about mistakes being made with malaria tests. At least everyone is healthy here now just in time to go back to school!

We had a nice time at Easter. We had a new American family over. They will be doing similar work to that of Wycliff bible translators but are working by themselves. The good news is they have two girls age 5 and 8. With the almost certain departure of Bethany's best friend next year, this may just fill the gap.

On Sunday we had guests round, but just as I was about to start cooking the power went out. This time it was only our house so I had to cook the whole meal next door. Nice to have friendly MAF neighbours. We later discovered it was the cooker that was cutting out the power. Monday we had a MAF brunch and because of our cooker problems were invited next door for tea. The cooker was fixed on Tuesday so we now have to cook for ourselves again-shame!

This week all drivers had to go to the police to register with a passport photo. I was quite pleased to be stopped by the police on Friday hoping to catch me out. I smugly handed over all the correct documentation and was waved on.

Love seeing the pictures and hearing about your "normal" life. . . . Just wanted to say that lots of people are reading and enjoying your blog, whether they ever comment or not. It's not very nice, I know, but such is the bane of faithful bloggers: no comments! :( Don't lose heart!

having just managed it again, so I better send my comment again as well just to get it right this time. I am so bad with computers all the children are doing facebook and photos on line and whatever on the computer and I am struggling to even do this!!! Well, just wanted to say I love your blog and read it regularly - don't often manage a comment as I seem unable to get it right. I type a whole long thing and then it's lost and I just cannot be bothered to do it again. But, I enjoy reading it very mch and I love the photos. Glad to read that the children like the mud baths - appears to be very good for the skin or so they say....would not like to try it myself!!! well done you for not worrying about it. Glad that the children are well agina and I have increased the explorers contributions for Yohanna by 9pounds for may as that's what we collected for him in small change - hope he is doing well............. wish I could come over for a cuppa and a catch up ....... see yousoon, are you over at all this year?
Love els
