Day 92 – Thursday 29th April 2010

Hold the front page, John has had a productive day at school.

An end of term English test is written, 97 books are labelled and ready for his reading library and his classes embarked on a speaking test, to varying success.

Armorel continues to work with the ward and sorting it out. They now have a very organised office, organised paperwork and spotless rooms. It helps that there are currently no patients, but that’s beside the point.

Tonight we arrived home to the realisation that our Swahili still has a long way to go. I thought I had said to our house lady we wanted a curry with rice tonight, but we ended up with spinach and rice. Not quite so appealing.

Luckily we have just been asked if we can help take and provide food to the group of English vicars. The ones who came to Nzega are part of a group of 7. So we headed off with our spinach and managed to get ourselves fed. They are a wonderful bunch of eccentric English men and women, and a fun evening was had by all. And John managed to get some much needed male conversation. Even if most of it was about birds! There are not many men around!
