I'm off to Gaborone for the rest of this week until Monday. The guard? Well he decided to pitch on Tuesday to ask for his money - as predicted. Long story short, we had a long chat and he asked for his job back ... promised to be reliable etc etc - we'll see. So at least I have someone to take care of the house and garden while I'm away. My neighbours were really helpful - arranged a night guard to cover - and even offered to come and check the place themselves. People are so kind.
I've also got to go to the dentist - again!!! More root canal work. My dentist is really weird - he ONLY does root canals - says its the only bit of dentistry he enjoys. I remember a dentist once telling me that doing root canal work is like doiong knitting in a jam jar! I think I'm on my way to needing implants - now there's something to look forward to!
It is very, very hot here - John is complaining because apparently it is freezing in Cape Town. But he's had his procedure, was a bit sore at first and is starting to feel better now. He's off to Windhoek next week to sort out the businesses there and try to persuade them to give us another work permit - hold thumbs.
People are asking where we are going next - and the answer is, we don't know. So far I have being talking to people about short and long term projects in places as far apart as Rwanda, Pakistan, Romania, Tanzania, Namibia, Kenya and Scotland!! I'll let you all know when a decision is made. Laurence has been really helpful and skillful at finding projects for me and revising my cv and application letters - I knew he'd come in useful one day :-)
