29.11.13 Friday Pool change.



The pool men arrived before 8am, which was a surprise, and started to pump the water from the pool out into the street.  Surprising amount of water!, running down the road and turning everything to mud.  I went across to apologise to our neighbour, but he just said that it was not as bad as the rainy season and would soon dry up, which of course it did as we still have the lovely sunshine.  Kebba was at home today to lend a hand with directing the water flow as only the oven remains to be done at Naata and Sanaba is handling that job.  The pool was emptied, mopped out and then a water tanker arrived with the new water, clean and fresh, it took three hours to fill with two tankers, and then we are topping up from our well slowly, about a foot, an hour at a time so we don't collapse the borehole.   Eileen called round in the afternoon, first time we have seen her since we arrived, and we had a pleasant afternoon sat by the now clean pool, catching up on recent events.  At 7pm we set off to the Courtyard for their Friday buffet where we met Jean and spent the evening together listening to the 60s/70s DJ and the local duo singing reggae style.
