Getting re-organized always takes a bit of time, but everything went pretty smoothly considering that our now former housekeeper, Mona, decided to return to school full time. Veronica, a young 22 year-old mother spends a few hours each morning to help with cleaning and the laundry. She arrives with two year-old Blessing who is happy to explore each room, sometimes even picking up a scrub brush to imitate her mother washing the floor. Makes me very aware of "baby-proofing" the house, especially when I've seen the many small objects that Jim has had to remove from children's throats.
Sunday lunch with friends continues in full swing. Always fun to figure out which items (for some reason often misspelled) listed on the extensive menu may actually be available. Recent winner was "Died Chicken Curry."
Finally, there seems to be a somewhat complicated system of figuring out when the next scheduled 12-hour power outage will occur - 6 AM to 6 PM or the reverse 6 PM to 6 AM. Complicated because it is random more often than not. Since this can also affect our water pump....
And in the market - plenty of favorites: mangoes, avocados, eggplant, etc.!
