Friday

My first pay day! Not much by S African standards, but all right by Saint ones. The work itself is ok, and I am beginning to get the hang of things. I am also slowly getting to understand the personalities that I share the office with.
There is very little time to fit everything in that needs doing after working hours. HOWEVER, Graeme has been wonderful in making sure that the kitchen is clean and tidy when I get home. Arthur did his best to clean the downstairs floors. I am sure that we will have worked out a new routine by the end of the month.

It is Bev Kilner's birthday, and we were invited to spend the evening with her and Tony and Alex (their 2 yr old) and the Terrys. We went to "The Sunflower Cafe". It is a home that also doubles as a restaurant. One has to book in advance, and then they cook in their kitchen, and serve you in their lounge/dining room. The lady served a lovely 3 course meal, which was impressive considering that they had no electricity for most of the day. No sooner had she served our dessert, than the lights went out again. We went back to Bev and Tony's home for coffee, but their lights were also out. We visited by candle light, and were lucky to have the lights come on long enough to boil the kettle before they faded again.
Bev is due to go in for her caesarian on Tuesday.
Graeme and I went to sleep still wondering where our Clawd could be, and hoping that he would come home soon.
