Well the weekend has come and gone and I managed to do some of those things that I've not got around to. Went early to 'Wonderbake' and had the best cup of coffee since I've been here.
Then walked (via the scenic route) to Maramba market and bought some material for 10000 kwachas (about one pound tweny pence). I then took it to the sewing centre where they'll make me a skirt and bag plus a purse for 60000 kwachas ( less than ten pounds) so a pretty good deal.
We watched 'Pulp Fiction' at our house on Saturday - I'd forgotten what a bizarre film it is.
Lynda (who reminds me of Yas - Yes she drinks expresso as well Yas!!) had her wallet lifted from her bag on Saturday. Luckily a Chief inspector from Lusaka was walking behind her and apprehended the villain. After she'd made sure he was a genuine policeman - she went with him to the police station where they gave the man a severe reprimand with a stick. Not a good experience she said.
I've also been to church the last couple of sundays which has been great listening to the choir - real gospel singers, but this week they were at another church.
Today I was at Nakatindi school doing revision with the 7th grade and this afternoon went to the farm to do Adult literacy class. We taught them how to read and write the story of the 3 little pigs. I usually teach Christina on the computer but the power transformer had died so we couldn't do that. Her brother in law had died this week too so she didn't stay. They have such a philosophical way about death here.
Anyway - enough for today. Long walk back to the house for a cuppa and tea gets delivered at 5.15. Bye for now. Love Sue
