Currently reading:
Having an electronic book reader does really help with the supply of books, or it would if my husband hadn’t taken it to use for himself!!

Currently watching:
‘Flashpoint’ or whatever other series Daniel has managed to buy for almost nothing on e-bay.

Currently working on:
Possibly moving house. A house had come up on the other MAF compound which has a much bigger garden than here. In many ways it is my perfect house, an old Kenyan bungalow in the middle of a big garden. To most Europeans it is probably a house you would want to completely do up, rip out the kitchen and bathroom, re- paint, re-plaster, put new windows and new floors in and maybe a patio. For me I think it will be just fine, although I am not so keen on the rats. However there are very few cockroaches! We just have to wait and see if anyone else wants to move in too!

Currently praying about:
Whether or not to change church. We like the church we go to but it is quite large and far away, so we are wondering about going for a nearer smaller one.

Currently enjoying:
Well the kids are enjoying silly bands. Not sure if they have hit the UK yet or we are years behind. Anyway they are like rubber bands but coloured and shaped. I have no idea what you are supposed to do with them but all the kids have them and swap them with each other.

Currently not enjoying:
Traffic as usual. A guy on a bike hit my car the other day. I was a bit panicked at the time but as he seemed OK and didn’t fall off it was OK. These things can often work out to being your fault even if it wasn’t so it is a bit nerve racking. Last week the country ran out of fuel, so there were huge queues at all the petrol stations. This caused traffic chaos and on Tuesday people were getting home from work hours late. It took Daniel 2 and a half hours to drive home. I managed to get home from school by working the back routes. The fuel situation is still not clear and they have been rationing fuel at some petrol stations.

Currently longing for:
A home that is ours and that we can stay in for ever. Although Daniel says I would soon get itchy feet. A place to live that didn’t have such huge security issues. I guess God knows what he is doing and hopefully all of this is character building or something !!!

Currently working on projects:
How to feel settled and at home in a place where you feel the opposite.
