Trying to catch up!

Another service which ran 20 minutes over time.  Why don't the frocks up front keep an eye on things and omit things if necessary.

Anyway, have had a good week, no teaching i the morning, and finished Paddington, and the Sound of Music with the sisters in the afternoons.  I took Friday off as the traffic is so bad that day .  However I did work hard each morning on lesson plans for the next few weeks.

The house is coming along, still no hot water but the sun is warming the water in the the tank which is on top of the latest project of the owner, so morning showers are not too bad.

The ceiling light in my bedroom

Putting the water tank up

This week I've been driving Sprout everyday and managed to locate the lights and drive back from KH  (what we residents call the new Kigali Heights, probably because there is a large KH on the building)  We had dinner there one evening which was very good at the Java House once more.

I took myself to City Tower quite early Friday morning hoping I could park without a hassle, the guards kept trying to make me reverse into tight spots, 'no, no, I'm going up?  I cried.  Eventually found an easy spot.....guard running alongside me!  Went in a little crooked but guard said ok.  He pointed out open windows....they won't shut always....so I shrugged and he looked after Sprout  till I returned.  

Those of you on FB will have seen that I spent yesterday by the pool at the Gorilla Golf hotel, had the place to myself which was great and enjoyed swimming for the first time this year.  An ice cold Primus, avocado salad and chips, very good....and I watched Saturday Kitchen!
If you imagine coming back from the pool, turn to face away from pool, there is a garden below then the boundary, a road ....and our house the other side of the road.


There is a huge project at the cathedral, pic below.  The old meeting room has been demolished and a multi use building will be started soon.

Marilyn is coming to Kigali on Wednesday for a little R and R, then Saturday I'm driving us to Musanze where we I shall bless the land and the build of his new home for Eric, our friendly tour operator, then to 5 Volcanoes for dinner all being well.  The next day we're going to Uganda, at least Marilyn is as she has an East African visa.  I've been told I'm ok as I have a Rwanda ID card....I hope this is so.

All for now....back after our adventure into foreign parts.
