Currently watching: House season 3, obviously the first choice for someone who worries about medical issues in a place ill-equipment to deal with basic medical problems, never mind the kind of illnesses house diagnoses.
Currently reading: 'The winner' by David Baldacci (Libby) 'When A Crocodile Eats The Sun by Peter Godwin (Daniel). Definitely worth a read if you are interested in Zimbabwe. Everything and anything (Joshua) Particular Calvin and Hobbes.
Currently enjoying: Swimming again, now the pool has had it's annual repair and the temperature has really cranked up in the afternoon.
The increased choice of things to do in Dodoma. Still pitiful compared to most other capitals but for us very exciting. I now have a weekly bike ride finishing with a Cappuccino written into my diary. The pizzeria is always fun on a Sunday for mini golf and the adventure play ground. Our only problem there is stopping our small white people ordering their own food and drinks by themselves.
The new Ikea chair we found in the MAF store, that one of the leaving families didn't want, it is so much more comfortable than the MAF sofas.
Currently anticipating: The new Kiwi Physio in town is offering foot massages and body massages very cheaply. You can also get pedicures done very cheaply here too, with fancy nail painting which costs £1 and lasts for 6 weeks. You really have to look after your feet here or else they fall apart. The dust and dryness makes them all cracked and if you are not careful you can easily get infections.
Currently not enjoying: The increase in humidity at night.
Currently working on projects: Setting up some kind of home church with a new American family. This will hopefully start in November.
Currently praying for: These are the words of a song I learnt last week and really express my current pray:
My heart is filled with thankfulness
To Him who walks beside
Who floods my weaknesses with strength
And causes fear to fly
Whose every promise is enough
For every step I take
Sustaining me with arms of love
And crowning me with grace.
Currently wishing for: what more could you want when it is summer everyday!!
