28.11.13 Thursday. More delays



We waited in for the pool men this morning which meant the the planned trip down to Nyofelleh never happened.  The shippers rang and wanted some documentation stamping with the official charity stamp, fortunately one of their staff was passing the end of our road on the way to the airport, which saved us driving into Banjul.  The ship has been delayed again and the latest estimated arrival is Sunday 1st December.  This will probably mean that Jean Clewes will be unable to deliver the sports things to Nemasu that she had collected for them, as she goes home on Wednesday.  The pool men finally turned up at 2pm, obviously Gambian morning time, and decided that it would take about 2 weeks to get the pool back to the right state, so the decision was made to empty it and start again tomorrow.
Then off to the hairdresser, an oasis of calm here in the Gambia.  Cut, blow and colour, whilst Steve did some shopping and then collected me.  We stopped at Maddies beach bar on the way home for dinner, a nice restaurant on the beach with a good view of the lovely sunset tonight.  Back home and as we still cannot get the only Gambian channel on our tv, another film, fortunately we have a good supply from both car boot sales in England and the local sellers here.
