Up and round to the storeroom this morning to collect the
chairs and other items for delivery to Nemasu today.
We loaded up and got to the nursery just before break time. Some of the old chairs have been damaged and
we were replacing them with newer ones donated this year. Faith was taking a small group for a maths
lesson, Momodou and Abdou were taking the rest of the pupils between them as
Fatou is away on her course this week.
We waited till break to sort out the damaged chairs and replaced them
with the newer chairs, we then took Faith back to Hanks where she was staying
this week. Back home for the afternoon,
another dose of bug killer in the cupboards, and then a call from the well man
asking if I had deposited the money for the renovation of the well in Nemasu
village? I had completely forgotten he
was coming this week and so we had to return to the bank and get the cash to
take to his bank to pay in. A simple
operation you would think, but nothing is every that simple here, each bank will not take any other bank’s word
that the bundles of money are correct and so I had to wait an hour whilst the
cashier painstakingly counted every note through the machine, and then by hand
if the machine would not read the old battered notes. Then each bundle had to be repacked in the bandings for Trust bank instead of Access, stamped and initialled before agreeing to transfer it. Back home finally for tea and a film in the
evening, our tv here will not pick up any channels at all, so dvds are our only entertainment. We are considering getting a satellite dish after Christmas, so we can get a news channel, we are pretty news starved here as we only get an english paper when visitors arrive. We certainly won't get a sports channel otherwise we would have all the boys in the neighbourhood in on football days, which here is every day from somewhere in the world.!
