Ann was not well today, was it a bug or was it the
prawns? We will never know, either way
she wanted to stay at home for the day.
Steve and I went to the storeroom and sorted out a delivery for Abuko
school where Mr Jallow teaches in the afternoon. We set off and arrived before lunch to be
greeted by the head teacher and Mr Jallow who arranged for some bigger boys to
unload all the boxes into the Principals office. The head of the school management committee
was also there and they were all very grateful for the reading books and
resources which we had put together for them.
The school is one of the larger ones, with 1925 pupils on a two shift
system, and classrooms 3 storeys high.
We left and made our way to visit Ibraima, the school caretaker at
Naata, who has a problem with his dog at the moment. The dog lives in the grounds of our nursery
and acts as a guard in the night, she has a large infestation of mango fly worm
at the moment, so armed with Vaseline, disinfectant and tweezers, Steve,
Ibraima and I spent well over an hour removing as many as we could find. This drama was watched by at least a dozen
children, who were fascinated by our diligence.
Finally, we couldn’t find any more and left Ibraima with instructions
and medication in case there is a recurrence.
As Ann is not eating today, we decided to stop at Neil’s bar on the way
home for dinner, so we are not eating in front of her. A new shop has opened next to the bar and I
got a long sleeved T shirt to wear to keep warm, as this cold wind doesn't seem to be going at all. We arrived home late in the
afternoon, and decided to watch a film so Ann could retire early this evening
and catch up on some sleep.
