We needed to go to the bank again this morning, for both
charity and personal money and to buy corrugate for the roof. We got up and had breakfast and just as we
were setting off to the bank we were told that it was Set Settal today, in
other words clean up day, which means that no-one can drive on the roads
between 9am and 1pm and all businesses are to be closed. So no money for us today!! This is so the nation can clean up all the
rubbish lying around, sadly this doesn’t always happen. Kebba, Cham and I had
arranged to meet this morning to go to the storeroom and sort out a space for
me to work in, fortunately the storeroom is within walking distance, but we
needed to load the truck so we risked the short journey around the corner. We spent the best part of 4 hours sorting boxes
and arranging them into piles, depending on when we need them. Chris is coming in April and so we stacked
all the boxes she needs at the back of the store out of the way. All the boxes
for Ndungu Kebbeh near the door because we are hoping for a truck this week,
and all nursery boxes at the side for me to divide between all the
schools. Eventually we had finished, we
loaded the truck with some boxes for a local school and some tables for Nemasu
and drove home.
Saturday is supposed to be Kebba’s day off, so he got
changed and went off to play football, leaving us to have a relaxing afternoon
in the garden, despite the banging from the roof of the guys welding our new
water tower. An early dinner, the
welding was finished ready for the plumber tomorrow to replumb our water supply
to the roof tank, Kebba returned from a successful match, and a film chosen for
our evening’s entertainment. No power
cut tonight which was good, we managed to watch a whole film before bedtime
