April 7th

It has been hot here. We don't have a thermometer, but it's got to be at least 90.
We had two broken laptops yesterday, identical twins. One got rained on, and one got dropped off the table, both almost new. So I took the hard drive out of the shorted one, and put it in the one with the fried hard drive, transfered all the relevant files (after rescuing the docs from each hard drive. ) So at least I saved one, and saved the trouble of buying a new hard drive for that one. It was hard to tell the headmaster of the secondary school that his laptop is toast. It is a big deal out here to have a laptop, because they could never afford one even at US prices, but here everything is twice as expensive. He had a folorn look on his face. I felt bad, but I also felt like saying "don't leave your laptop next to an open window in a rainstorm."

April 3rd.

It is becoming harder not to begin counting the days. We are making plans for our departure, trying to fit in a safari, trying to pick up various and sundry things, arrange for gifts, etc.

We have baby nicholas again tonight to give Robin and Natalie a good night's rest.
