In Tanzanian news... Mafuta Sasa in Dar es Salaam is turning used cooking oil into biodeisel fuel. Very progressive for these parts. Despite being ridiculed by the general community and not being able to sell to fuel stations because governing agencies don't understand enough about his product, he perseveres. We hope to be able to support him in the near future.
In Arusha news... this is what a Load Shedding Time Table looks like. It is looking like the dreaded cuts on May19-26 from 8am-11pm will be trimmed. Instead day or evening cuts for 4 days in a row. Totally do-able, In fact that is basically what we are doing now so we won't even notice a difference.
On the home front... Kaia's fever came back last night along with a headache and a very unusual 3 hour midday nap. So we are nesting again today. Uugh. She woke up looking fine and the spots are mostly gone. Hopefully this is the end of it. Very sad to have missed a playgroup that was celebrating her friend's birthday today. Also very sad that I am definitely fighting this too and am utterly exhausted.
Today for the first time they ganged up on me. I wanted to change Theo's diaper and Kaia showed him how to hide under the bed. Clever.
This is Kaia's 'telling on you' face. Here she was explaining how Theo took Kuna.
This is Theo's 'salad' face. For some reason he has started asking for bites of my salad during lunch. The salad usually has lots of raw onion, carrot, green pepper, and is covered in balsamic vinegar. He makes this face for each and every bite but then keeps asking for more.
**Video coming as soon as our power comes back on**
**ETA: Seems we have a problem uploading videos again. Sorry.**
And here is Theo crowing like a rooster. Sometimes he really gets the sound right and often accompanies it with a great back arch. But I couldn't get those on camera. This one is cute enough though.
SORRY ABOUT THE VIDEO PROBLEMS AS THEY ARE THE BEST!
ReplyDeleteANYWAY WE WILL SOON HAVE THE REAL THING.
HOPE ALL THE 'SICKIES' ARE NOW 'WELLIES'
