Ok, so. It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. I wonder if anyone still reads this….we’ll see, probably because ill send out a mass email that will make you all feel guilty if you don’t at least read the first sentence. Well crap now the first sentence is over I hope I didn’t actually loose anyone.
Here we are, it’s mid-november and it’s hotter than any place I’ve ever been. I came back from America trip and was blasted in the face by heat. It’s only starting to let up some which I believe is due to the coming of rains. That will be a treat. Until you read my next blog that rants and raves over how much the rain is awful. The weather here just can’t seem to please me. Could have something to do with the fact that I spent my last 5 years in sunny mild-weathered long beach. Enough about the weather, no body wants to read a whole paragraph about the weather, moving on.
I started a garden in my backyard. That was a good little project. However with the heat (sorry, last time i promise) digging up my entire backyard was a task to say the least. But it’s done and I planted the following, peas, beans, squash, bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, carrots, watermelon and cantaloupe. The squash and beans shot up real quick like and so did the melons. The rest is taking its sweet time but they’re there, slowly but surely. Hopefully by the time I receive my February visitors we’ll have something to eat cuz I think I’m out of money again (and by think, of course, I mean know).
Thanksgiving is coming up and it looks like it will be the last one I don’t spend with the family eating turkey and a million other things so that’s good news. This year will be similar to last years adventures of a pig roast at our boss’ house with cold drinks and cheeeeeeeese.
This new school year is coming along alright. We’ve got ourselves a whoping 3 teachers (including me). Do you remember high school? How nuts would that been if there were only three staff total (teachers, admin, principal, etc). Granted we have significantly fewer students, it’s still not quite enough even by Malawian standards. We are promised a Head Teacher who should be coming soon and perhaps one other teacher. Of course, in December we will be getting our two college student teachers so we should be in full swing for second term. Also weird to think that after this Ill only have 2 terms of teaching left. Then I was thinking about going back to this America place that I’ve heard so much about.
I think that’s all I’ve got for now.
