The praying mantis has died.
A large funeral procession is currently
being held on the floor of living room. The ants are doing a very good job at
carrying the thing away. Let us all share a moment of silence. Thank you.
BLEURGH.
In other news, our electricity cut out
this morning. I miss being able to see my way around and then sit in front of
the fan. Now both St Martin’s Hospital [the main site] and Nkope Health Centre
[the satellite centre that we’re at] have no electricity.
We’re heading to Blantyre tomorrow
[Friday] to determine what we are going to buy with the kind donations given to
us by everybody who came to our “Come & Sing” event in Oxford. We’ll keep
you updated with what we spend the money on. The hospital has a severe shortage
of basic equipment [were it not for the fact that we bought a few boxes of
gloves, the health centre would be completely without now], so we’ll see.
Hoping to get this week’s blog posts
online from Blantyre, and reconnect with people on facebook and my beloved
twitter. Since we’ve had no Internet to entertain us in the evenings [or
anything else for the matter], Danni and I have been singing our way through
every musical we have on Spotify.
I can’t believe we only have one more
week left in Malawi – time flies! A week on Sunday we fly to Cape Town, and
then to NYC via the UK for a few days to regroup and do some proper washing up!
Stay tuned to further chart our descent
into happy madness.
Dan
Wonderful updates. Seriously humbling.
