Home with a cold March 4, 2009

When I got up this morning I decided in a very short time that I would not be going in to work today! I had also arranged to see Claudia, one of my Mozambican friends, before work, since I had only heard this week that she’s going back to Beira on Saturday. I asked her to come here instead, as the thought of sitting in a smoky coffee shop and shouting to make myself heard wasn’t very appealing. We had a lovely visit, and it seems pretty certain that she’ll marry in a few months’ time and then move back to Nampula, yay! She left just after 11h00 and I tried to get some work done, updating the lists of books each pastor on the APP has, but for most of the day when I was working, I felt like I should be resting and getting better, and when I was resting I felt guilty about not working. Last night the electricity kept on going off, so much that I went to bed very early, and then today until about noon we had no water, I don’t know what has been going on. This afternoon at least I could cook and then clean up the kitchen, so I was glad it  came back on. Hopefully tomorrow I will feel better and be able to do more!
