First things first, I would like to take this opportunity (don't all good speeches start that way?!) to apologise for the delay in writing on here, since I last wrote the Internet failed for nearly four days (yes, EVEN in the middle of Africa such things happen!), so I have been unavoidable delayed!

I am not sure whether I mentioned that Aunty Christine came home on Monday night, so that has been nice, someone to make sure the washing is done properly and keep the food at a decent level!

On Tuesday I had the day off, so we spent the morning talking and sorting through the things A/ Christine had brought back with her, My Mummy had sent me a nice big chocolate bar which was well received!

We suddenly realised on Tuesday that my visa was running out the next day, and I needed a new one! So we rushed off to the immigration office, but it was SUUCH a hassle getting it sorted! The dude behind the counter originally told me I would need to go back to the UK and then fly in again to be eligible for another 30 days! Then he got all moody when we told him I was doing some voluntary work for the 'church'! I told him the woman at the border had told me I could just have another 30 days, and Andy said that if we couldn't get it from him, we would just travel back to the border again! After that he got a bit flustered and changed his tune (He now started singing 'Bright eyes', I don't know why! Joke btw), He then said Andy had to write a letter stating that I was his visitor, and I had to fill in a long form all about how much money I had and whether I had any diseases or anything! We had to go back on Wednesday and fill it in, I was kinda hoping that he wouldn't stamp my form then we would have had to go to the border and I might have got a mini safari out of it!

On Tuesday afternoon some guys appeared with the roof sheets for the new hall, so we had to supervise that. The way the roof sheets fit together meant that each one had to be PERFECT, not a dent on the rim, but low and behold most of them were badly damaged! So the guys stacked them in a corner and they were meant to be coming back the next day to sort them out, but they haven't been back yet! The way things are done out here is totally different.

On Saturday Beth and I (c.... gud grammer cumin thru their mum!) went for a walk along the dam wall again, we went all the way along this time and saw a guy wading right out into the middle of the dam to check his nets, at one point he called us in for a swim! On the way back we took a different route home, along the pipe line back to palapye. At one point we came across a section where they (don't ask who 'they' were, just builders I suppose!) were installing something, and had made a pretty mess of the track. After asking which way we were meant to go, we were told that the JCB was clearing us a path through! After managing to struggle through, we then watched a Toyota( that can be said backwards! A Toyota!) corolla get stuck! Quite an experience.

Sorry this is quite short, I am pretty tired and cannot think straight for the nice comfortable bed behind me!
