Nyaulingo

Nyaulingo has been helping us cook especially when there's been more to do recently. With five of us in the house, we decided to invite the teachers for an evening meal. Hannah, Katy and Jack did a beef roast in a pit using bricks, sticks and tin foil. Definitely to be repeated. The rice we cooked went into a mush, I think because it was this year's harvest - that's a good excuse anyway, and I tried to do too much of it (around 4kg uncooked). Nyaulingo did ginger carrots -yummy, and cabbage stir-fry, also yummy, and the others made a banana cake as a delicious finale.

Yesterday we drove to Bagamoyo via Dar to collect some luggage - a twelve hour round trip. The others did a bus trip for the final two hours and ended up on the beach before us. Amazing that the whole trip has gone so according to plan. Doesn't often happen, although recently God has been very good to us.

We're able to watch the Olympics here, and yesterday Kevin, who's son is a cyclist, walked in to the lounge room where the womens' team pursuit was on television; he unexpectedly watched them win a gold medal - came out all excited, and then told us this morning that other golds came in after that! It's good to be connected to the world here.
