Look at the beauty of the bees! They moved in around a month ago, and already the honey is almost dripping from the combs. They've built a house for themselves which blows me away! It is in our store. This has implications, because we keep things there. I wake up at around 5am to put things away and take them out for the day, like our jembe for digging in the garden, dry wood and sticks for the fire, and the hose pipe for filling our tank with water. When they first moved in we wondered, but it didn't take long to decide to let them stay. We just have to move softly without banging around too much, and eventually, perhaps they'll give us some honey!
This past week we also managed to make some marmalade. Maybe it will lead to an identity crisis, or perhaps one of us will just have to be Pooh and the other Paddington. It was like a full production line using the wood burner stove to soften the peel, then chopping and boiling it all up. Mmmmm.
Cleaning the water tank involved one of us climbing in to it and the other lifting out buckets of leaf-mould-polluted water until it was all swept clean with a dustpan and brush.
The electricity lines have almost reached our house too, so we may well have our fridge working soon. And we had a visit from some old friends who have been involved in building the school since its first foundations in the year 2000. So much excitement, and lots to thank the Lord for. Pray for safety for the Secondary School students as they go away on holiday until January.
