August! Its finally heating up and I definitely sense a tan developing, although my nose is disgustingly burnt.
The other night, I TOTM caused me to be in the house on my own and I heard a shuffling outside our room. Suddenly I was extremely aware of the presence of a RAT scurrying about the place. Not only have they been causing fear about the entire house, but also some of our food has become unusable due to rat droppings etc. Yuck!
I'm recollecting on my week at St Pauls and what I have achieved so far.
I'm still in awe of Josephine. My lesson on "my name is Kat, I live in London!", she repeated to Claire later that day. Not only this, but she was able to ask Claire where she came from. She is so bright. At least there is a little hope for some of the kids.
06/8
It is so hot today. I promised myself that I would not complain about the heat and I am trying not to. We are 7km from the Congo and theres barely a breeze; this is equatorial sun, in Zambian winter! I shall not complain, because I know full well that on returning to England the icy wind and Mancunian rain will be penetrating my body once more. And I will be moaning about rain, endless rain, neverending rain.
It doesn't rain here.
The sweetest thing just happened. I received a handwritten letter from one of my friends. I'll try and scan it in!
