Well, arrived here on Tuesday. That was a tiring day, up at 5.30 and lots of bumpy road. Much more peaceful here than in Freetown. It was so quiet, I slept until 7.45 this morning and staff meeting was at 8.
I bought hard boiled eggs, bread and mayonaise on the way here so have been eating egg mayonaise rolls for a bit. We had rice and stewed green leaves, done in palm oil for lunch and I must admit I can't get on with it. I had just rice (called empty rice) but a girl came round with big yelleow stewed plums this afternoon for 5p each so I had 2. Lovely. Latr I saw someone with round slices and thought they were pancakes. In fact they were cucumber, the ones here are very short and fat but nice to crunch so I had 2 slices. These less than 2p a big slice.
I have a mosquito net like a dome tent. My matress fits inside and it zips up just like a tent. Good job, the insects here are many and various and a lot of them bite. but the bites go away if I can stop myself scratching.
I am doing teaching wit the womens project here and write the daily phonics lesson and seend it to the other schools. We have an internet stick so can access e mail so do write and tell me what's going on and I will try to post every week. Haven't had coffee or tea since I arrived, no hot water. They only light the fire to cook at lunchtime. Probably do me good.
best wishes, Pat

Hi Pat, Just signed in. If you get another chance to eat cucumber - take it. They are exceptionally good for you. Denise told us a lot about their benefits on Tuesday and she is sending copies via internet. Glad to hear you are coping. Take care. Love Sherry.
