After Valentines day and Big Big brothers Birthday [ well on his way to be an Octaterian }

Cario Business is still ongoing and there does not seem to be an end in the immediate future so perhaps a trip is in order although probably have to get paid first to do that. Cant bring my self to use that "Inshalla" word but the situation  has that inevitability about it.

Raking and development continues along and progressing very well in the capable hands of Jamie and the boys.Their attitude and commitment is fantastic considering no air cons in the machines with temperatures  into the high 30s everyday. Ending up covered in blach soot from the burning and the local dust.

Nothing really exciting to report at all just another Mundane week.Only think of note was I went in to town to pick some people up from tje airstrip and the plane went to the wrong town so that caused a reasonably quick drive to the other town.

  The normal soldier with logs on the road but unfortunately was going to fast to stop for him and went around on the side he was standing .According to the car following the logs were removed by the time he came past a couple of minutes later.Must remember that for the future when not in doubt just drive straight at them.

Solace in the veggie garden has been a bit of a high light although making a comment to an old mate .


"Cutting down trees for posts and rails for the shade house in over 40' heat thinkong what the fuck am I doing here ?",I asked Maanga Jim the same question and he said "Helping Nuier and teaching him good things" so I guess it all has  purpose in the end. I will have to explain that to my back some time when it stops twitching.

So life goes on in the 193rd country in the world at is own pace some shocking killings in Joongalie State over the river from us a real nut case general going mad. More people arriving from the North repatriating themselves to their former home areas.This certainly going to cause some huge humanitarin problems.food ,housing [building their own grass huts],drinking water.clothes etc.Inflation has started to take hold with prices of most things going up every fortnight if not weekly,and not as many shops open or supply trucks coming in.I alsmost feel guilty buying things in the market but then the majority dont have any money to buy any thing any way.

Photos this week ?? not much will see what is in the Library.

ready for school??




Traffic jam
