Fiona set off for Nemasu this morning where she is helping
the staff produce visual aids, and Steve went to Naata with some firewood for the
kitchen. I spent the morning doing
accounts and writing up the blog. We are
getting ready for a school party from Belle Vue Girls’ school who are arriving
tomorrow, and are travelling up on the north bank of the river to Ndungu Kebbeh
early on Thursday morning.
I rang Kebba and asked him to come back a day early so he
can look after the house whilst we are away, Malik has had to go away for a
while. Steve came back with the bread,
Fiona arrived home and we all had lunch in the garden. Kebba arrived home later in the afternoon and
rang the taxi driver for me to check on the progress of the minibus. Unfortunately the taxi drivers father has
passed away and he has gone to the provinces with the minibus for the rest of
the week! Onto Plan B another bus needed,
fortunately Kebba was home because he managed to find one for us, the extra
special priority letter that Ousman has got us to cross the river on Thursday
has the registration of the first minibus on it, it is now too late to change
it and so we will just have to hope that the ferry authorities understand our
dilemma! The new taxi man arrived to talk about
arrangements and everything hopefully is sorted now!
Fiona, Steve and I went out to the quiz, and once again beat
the other teams, our winnings now amount to about £100 for the charity. Fortunately we are friendly with the other teams and a lot of banter goes on, which is why the team name is still 'The clever Bastards from Yonder'.
