We had the first really solid dose of rain last night. I had an early night and was very comfy when I was aware first of the noise, and then the sprinkling of rain getting through the gauze windows of the tent. I wriggled around until I found a reasonably dry corner and managed to get a little more sleep despite the damp.
This morning it’s been dry so I’ve done lots of washing and drying of sleeping bags and things. A good spring clean was overdue anyway!
Your money is now with Lewa and Moses and I are anxiously waiting for the go-ahead on the projects. The really great news is that there should still be money left over, perhaps to buy another water tank so that we can save the rain during the wet season, perhaps for some growing of crops or even flower beds outside the classrooms? What do you think?
Now, Years Seven and Eight, I haven’t heard anything much about what all of you are up to back at AH. Have you done your play yet, Year Seven? Forgive me for not remembering the dates, but I’d love to hear from you how it all went.
And what about you, Year Eight? Too busy revising to drop in a comment on the blog? A likely story!
Thank you for your very kind comments, Mrs Mac and Daisy and Archie. It’s good to hear of the U12 girls' success.
Glad you’re working hard for Mrs Barber, Frede, and well done on doing so well in SP and Dr, you and Lucy P.M.
Ben: congratulations on your IAPS selection. I’m quite looking forward to the holiday too. We’re going on safari and then to the seaside here in Kenya.
I’ll include a photo of the inside of my tent when I’ve tidied it up!
And here's my kitchen, too. That wait-a-minute tree has its uses...
Bonjour Mr Ellery again,
ReplyDeleteWe have had some lovely weather especially on Tuesday, it was nearly as hot as where you are.
Oh, I thought I should tell you that the u10 netball players didn't win the netball tournament. I wondered if you have been teaching the children french? I think you should spend the money on shoes for them because most of them are bear footed.
Best wishes, Matilda avoir again get it?
Dear Mr Ellery,
ReplyDeleteHello it's me Meg M and I was wondering if the animals ever come to Sang'a and you have to scare them away? You know the savage kind, because they might eat you! Do crocodiles come? Also Mrs Green told me that there would be some money left over after you've spent some. I think that you could spent it on some play ground equipment(for the nursery.) Or maybe spend it on school meals, so they have something different to eat.
I hope you are having a great time,
from Meg M
