Over the past week we have had heavy rains which are good
for the crops; however power cuts have become a daily occurrence. The lack of electricity has given us a
challenge for planning our meals, particularly since the fridge defrosts
quickly leaving a pool of water on the floor.
We do not have a charcoal burner, therefore we need to plan to eat
things which do not require cooking eg. sandwiches or crackers. Fortunately the cooks at the Fathers’ house
will give us a flask of hot water for coffee.
The rains bring many flying insects and ants appear often
around the fallen leaves, therefore sweeping around the outside of the house is
a daily chore. Often we hear the croaking of frogs in the garden and the sound
of many birds. Inside the house, Father
Phillip gave us a very good spray aptly named “DOOM” which gets rid of unwanted
insects.
