Thursday

Oh dear, no coffee today. Sadrac and Madam Mando not around so no fuel to stove. Oh well, bet I will survive. Scrambled eggs for breakfast this morning really good as not much oil. Clinic really slow again. I mean really slow as saw more critters than patients. A mouse jumped out of a box I opened which really startled me and then sat and watched a rat run in and out of classroom area. Wonder what other critters are hiding out or on second thought maybe would rather not know. One of the children who lives in the clinic area with the pastor has finally started calling me by my name instead of "blan". He is probably 5 or 6 and just looks like trouble. We have gotten to be friends as I think he likes getting hugs. Today he undressed in the yard and threw his clothes on the ground in the dirt. I think he went to bathe, came back naked as a jaybird, picked his clothes up out of the dirt and put them on. Silly boy. Today had a real treat with lunch...cake. Just plain old cake with no frosting but oh so good.

Think that is all for today.

Joyfully,

Barbara
