We have had regular power
cuts these past three days. It is great to have a generator to fall
back on, although it doesn’t get turned on during the night. Marv
Friesen – director of support services - had been worried a little
about the diesel in the barrels gumming up, because there had been no
need to use any.
One of our colleagues had
given Margreet some other type of anti-histamines and, after taking
half a tablet, she slept great!
After
coffee, Marv and the two of us took a taxi ride to the Burkina Faso
embassy to obtain a visa for our short visit there. It was the most
laid back affair we ever encountered and we hope to pick up our
passports in two days. Most stores close between 12 and 2 and
because of traffic we didn’t get to the hardware store in time to
buy the needed hardware to finish the cabinets, we’ll try again
when we go back for the passports.
We are pretty well done
with the painting, a few touch-ups and painting over Gaby’s hard
work will do it. There is another apartment we may start on and Henk
would like to clean out/organize the tool room a bit more before we
actually get to install the cabinets sometime next week.
After Margreet did the
first coat of white paint for the doors and the door frames, she went
home to bake bread. It looks great but we will have to wait for it to
cool off to get a taste of it…
