Nice to hear from you, 5P!

· Haven’t seen any snakes here yet, and I’m told that there aren’t many venomous ones…that’s relief, because one of the zips on the tent won’t shut all the way!

· The “Library” is certainly another area of the school for development. It’s difficult to describe just how dull and unistimulating the classrooms are…they are plain cement walls with virtually nothing else...no posters, children’s work, notices, nothing. This may be a matter of resources or it may be a matter of culture. I have already suggested to Moses though that I’d like to do some water-painting with Class Four before I go.

· I knew someone would want the low-down on the loos, Max! Here’s a picture. And a second one after this afternoon’s rain.

· Back home during Holy Week, Freda.

· Not really brave, George…I’m being very well looked after, and I have plenty of e-books on the laptop and music to download if I want to.

· Cheetahs! I saw a family of them…at first I thought they were lions, then leopards, but leopards are much more solitary and nocturnal, and lions don’t have spots, except when they’ve got measles. I was told they were cheetahs (no I won’t make a joke about them never paying for their drinks because they’re cheaters….)

· I mentioned to Henry Oliver that the dry air of Keya has dulled my sense of smell (always very poor, anyway) but the smell of rain on the dirt, and passing one of the few bushes flowering at the moment on the site have stirred my olfactories, don’t ya know!
