Moving day!
This morning we were feeling quite sentimental over this house as we ate our last breakfast of toast and honey. A quick estimation shows we have eaten about half a litre of honey since we arrived.
Is this normal?
We have never kept a close track of our honey consumption.
We headed off to work, all was normal, driving merrily along, when suddenly the road disappeared.
Luckily for us, ‘disappeared’ was in the sense that we could no longer see the road, and not that the earth had opened up, swallowed the road and left a huge chasm in its place.
The road had become a mass migration path for hundreds of blue and white dressed kids, all traipsing their way along. Having a vehicle with an audible people scattering device i.e. horn, worked wonders and we experienced a biblical style parting.
It would become apparent later in the day that the president was in town again, we must be a popular location or maybe he is stuck here, and they needed a full crowd to greet his speech. So, it would seem that half the schools in town had been conscripted to attend.
All this and we hadn’t even arrived at work. What fun and games would that bring us?
Well, not a single bit of fun for me. To maintain sanity I dreamt of Starbucks cheesecake.
Armorel’s day was much more productive. The ward is coming along fast and the builders are pretty much finished. Armorel’s “Monicaness” (Friends reference) and obsession with cleanliness is also keeping her and the other staff busy. She also had some fun with a tiny baby and nebuliser.
Then it was home time, and the joys of packing up. Luckily the hard work and packing on Sunday paid off and we were ready within an hour, and just a quick journey up the road and we are home.
We are both so excited to be here, and feel so blessed to be in this house. Photos are coming soon we promise. We are just trying to take ones that don’t make the house look too amazing, and you start to wonder about our cushy lives in Africa!
We go to bed tonight with, wait, no, nothing. Its quiet!
