Rain! Rain! Rain!


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.
