Morning wander
I finally got back to it yesterday, having a walk before I start my day, I mean. Up at five, out by quarter past as it was getting light, through the empty village and along the road. I only saw one truck, but I was deafened by the cockerels and birds in the Pedi valley and around the village. Back at home, I had to set about the day’s work in a slightly smelly fashion as we ran out of water on Monday. It usually comes in and fills our tank three days per week, but we’d missed days due to the bank holiday weekend. Luckily, there was a flush left in each of the toilets, and we had plenty of bottled water for cleaning teeth and making tea, but it’s amazing how quickly the washing up backs up, and how much we take water for granted until we don’t have it. It was on again on Tuesday, so the tank was filled, and we watered the garden as it was coming in, had showers and washed up so that when the town hall supply stopped, we still had a full tank. It should be in again today, and we should be back to normal. Meanwhile, here are some photos from yesterday.
