4.2.14 Tuesday. Mr Jallow



A meeting with Mr Jallow had been arranged at our house this morning.
Steve went to pick Chris up this morning and returned with her and Alan, who wanted to use the pool whilst we had our meeting.  Mr Jallow arrived on his motorbike with Momodou, his eldest son. Alan and Momodou went into the garden whilst the four of us met with Mr Jallow to discuss the school and the wage increase which has been given.  After the meeting Chris went off with Alan to be dropped at the villa by Steve, Linda, Fiona and I went to the storeroom, hot and dusty work for a couple of hours, we decided to have a drink in Neils bar, to cool down.  Whilst we were there Mell rang to say they were on the way back from Kumibja, and had reached Banjul.  We decided to wait for them in the bar and so we all spent a pleasant afternoon in the sunshine having a beer or two, joined by Steve as well.    James has been helping the boys build the fourth wall around the playground at Kumbija, and Mell has been helping at the local clinic. 
Linda’s last day and so at teatime we all piled into Omar’s minibus to go to Cabanas to watch the sunset, unfortunately Mell was not feeling well and so as a precaution Omar took her and James to the clinic. The rest of us stayed to watch the sun-setting over the beach and had a lovely meal before going on to the quiz.  We had stiff competition tonight and Chris’s team beat us by one point!
