Water, water everywhere......

Two weeks later... thank you to all you lovely people who have been reading my blog and feeding back. Today is the first time that i have been able to access my blog to update it. this is mostly because of the vaguearies of the electricity supply here. Any time i have managed to get to an internet cafe my priority has been to keep up with the work i am doing here and not to chat... so SORRY.... if you would like to catch up do look at Bex's blog (link from mine) as she has been writing more regularly.

Anyway, just to entertain you water is also an intermitant luxury. One day last week I got up at 7 for a shower to find that the water was off. the day continued and returning to my room hot and sticky from a long hard day at school overseeing the projects and struggling to keep up with the language, i undressed (no dont think about it) and rushed enthusiastically into the shower room ( well ..... there were a few tiles on the walls) only to find i had left the tap turned on and there was water everywhere. Undaunted i turned the tap off adn proceeded to clean up a bit..... then i turned the tap back on and guess what, YES, in that 5 min the water had gone off again!!!!

so, now we have moved to other accomodation for the second part of our stay and the water supply is less intermitant but is always cold. So i am learning in all things to be grateful.... at least we have water... sometimes!
