Normal Day Life.

I was up early the next morning after having slept most of Tuesday away. Leila was extra-extra kind. She is always extra kind, so that is why she was extra-extra (lol), this morning. She made a big breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes. They were very delicious. 

After eating breakfast, I was at the pig pen with Darren and Keiren helping haul wood boards and chip off some more walls with the chisel. The roof is coming along very well and is nearly finished. It should be finished first thing next week after the weekend off of work.

I went back to the house at ten - my garden finishing time. I watered up and checked my gmail and blog for comments. None. Just readers - no commenters. Lol. 

I showered. If you come to Malawi to work, you will have to shower everyday. The ground here is like dust and gets into the skin and stays there until showered off. So I always come back to the house after working in the dirt covered in black, dirty filth from toe to knee and from finger to elbow, plus my chest. 

At 2 PM, I headed over to the kitchen near the daycare and helped Enert prepare green beans, tomatoes, and goat meat for the ten people that need family support. This blurred pic shows Enert at the sink, the counter-top, and the food on the counter.

Why not blured?
 Here is a close up of the tomatoes and green beans. I added the meat after this photo was taken. And yes, this is the actual colour of the tomatoes. Very red.


Here I am helping put the food into the bag for this woman. After I give this, Enert gives each person one or two kilograms of Nsima flour to make Nsima.


As all of the support attendants left, Enert and I swept up the spilled Nsima flour and put away all the food containers.

Tomorrow I head to a wildlife reserve!

  1. This is a very tame post no poisin snakes, no spiders,no alligators, no hanging your arms out to get ripped off, not scary at all. I think the reason you are not tanning is because all that dust is working as sun screen😊keep up the great work. Linda
