Hello,
It's 'Husb' again.
More news from Kenya: There appears to have been a very long winded journey, which included a ride on the back of a motorbike (taxi) and an extended bus journey through the country. However the business training course is now all underway and going well by all accounts. Mandy isn't quite sure how to get 'photos to me easily as internet is not necessarily available, but I'm looking forward to seeing them as I'm sure you are.
The rest of us are managing the household activities and I thought I'd just share the story of what happened last night. - Chef was on his laptop and started screaming for Smurf to come and rescue him! Very odd, as he's usually yelling at Smurf to give him some peace. Anyway Chef felt something crawling up his leg - which turned out to be Smurf's mouse Sparkle. Since this incident the mouse has had a change of accomodation to an old gerbil cage from the attic. I've included some pictures of the mouse in it's new house and the Chef in his room on the laptop. Hope they look OK, I'm no photographer.
By the way thanks for the comments left, I'll pass them on.
Chef at his laptop did not expect a mouse to be crawling up his right leg.
Inside the new mouse cage; Sparkle is waking up.
Sparkle is in the flying saucer section at the top. She seems to quite like the change of scenery.

Nice to hear what's been going on.
I wonder if Sparkle's up for taking after Chef in the computer game department :-)

Haha, I'm sure we'd all yell out, not knowing what might be crawling up our leg when we least expect it. Actually, I'm not sure I'd ever expect something to crawl up my trouser leg, but it's a good enough reason for elasticated ankles on one's trousers.
We'll wait patiently for the photos when M comes back, as long as she is well and happily busy.
You're doing a great job back home Husb, take care all.

hello...its me. finally borrowed a laptop off the lovely man who we.re staying with. the town is called Bungoma in the NW of Kenya. as husb mentioned we did have a loooooong hot mega dusty drive up here about 8 hours in total but have loved the last two weeks. today we went into a womens prison in a town called Kakamega. we talked for a bit then gave out soap. milk for the children and babies and some sweets. i was a little unsure of myself at first but it was a humbling and positive experience and the loo was the cleanest one outside of the lovely high school we are staying at. we spent two days at a school. they loved the learning materials we took them. benj... the chidlers loved the alphabet beads you bought online. we move onto Webuye tomorrow to our main school. Im ready to add a room to the school as a temporary measure til we can get some land and build a brick school.
loads of love to all.
i appreciate the kindwords aand interest from you folks in England.
