All schools finish today for the Christmas break and Naata
is no exception. The plan is to dig the
new soak-away for the new toilet block, build a storeroom, repaint the classrooms, paint the outer wall, and get all the work completed before
the new term begins. Kebba and Sanaba
have got a team of boys together to do the work and so the digging commenced
this morning. Steve took a delivery of wood for the new roof down on the old
truck, we sorted out supplies of cement and made sure the boys had everything they needed before returning home. We spent the rest of the
day preparing for the holidays and our next arrival of guests. Steve is busy planting lots more vegetables
in the garden, so we should be almost self sufficient come the new year. We decided to eat at home and had just
started preparing a meal when Musa arrived with our new truck, much excitement,
it looks splendid and sounds very quiet compared to our old one. We inspected
it inside and out, and then Musa joined us for a coffee and a piece of
Christmas cake before leaving with the old truck to pass on to it’s new owner. We ate a quick meal after he left and then
retired early.
