This picture shows the District Heats for shot-put being held on our school playing fields, with a game of netball in the distance; part of the national games programme. It included athletics, football and volleyball as well. It was so cold that day that we stood shivering on the side of the field. Last Monday I looked at our wall thermometer and found it was 10 degrees Centigrade. During the BK class that morning I'm sure I heard someone's teeth chattering!
We have had a few visitors recently, and yesterday we were privileged to be able to welcome Ken and Dianne Phyllis to a farewell visit to the school. They worked in St Michael's from the beginning, setting up the science laboratories and getting some of the buildings up, including the computer laboratory. In the past few years they went even further into mainland Tanzania to help set up a new Diocese in the west of the country. It was great to see them, but sad because this will be their last visit before returning to Australia because of illness. Dianne has a torn ligament in her knee, among other things. We shared a lot of laughter yesterday over a dinner of meat and rice, together with friends.
Life seems to get busier. Our weekends in Iringa have been filled up with a round of visits and parties, so we seem to go back to Kilolo for a rest. Livestock also demands attention; our swarm of bees is growing, and I have constructed a hive to house them in. I'll share a photo when it's in place! We hope to get someone to come and help us move them in to their new home very soon, and (just maybe) we'll get some honey!
