The storeroom stills needs some things sorting and removing,
so Steve and I went round first thing this morning. We had a few boxes of books left so we packed
them into the truck and Steve took them down to Brufut
Lower Basic School
for their library. I stayed in the store
until Steve came back and we sorted some furniture out for Sanaba as
promised. There are still a few boxes to
sort, and lots to condense so we will be back tomorrow. We returned home for the afternoon to relax,
I think old age is creeping up as we need to relax more! Ousman arrived around 3pm and took the rest of the boxes for the hospital and
clinic which Chris and the others had left in our bantaba. He is going to
Farato early in the morning and taking his prospective second wife to meet the
rest of the family. Tradition here, but
still alien to us, Ousman tells us that everyone is happy about it, but we know
different.
My turn to cook tonight, and then the end of the film we
started to watch last night. After
watching the news, especially about the progress of the Ebola virus that many
of our family and friends are worried about, and would like us to return home
early, we put the film on just as the power went again! We are told that the Gambia
is waiting for a shipment of oil to power the electricity, and so it is being
rationed at the moment, it had been on all day today, I would prefer it on in the evening, so
off to bed early again, we are getting a lot of sleep! Fortunately we have lots of torches!
