Sunday 19th April
The power came back on at 3am, the ceiling fan started up, and I managed to get a few hours of sleep in the relatively cool air finally. Went into work, tidied my desk up, well, more moved stuff from one place to another, but it looks as though I’ve done something. I’ll be spending the rest of the week looking for stuff now.
10 test papers to write up in the next week, Then 2 weeks of revision for everyone, and a final week of tests. Thankfully it’s mostly practical stuff which they have been doing, I just need pictures of them doing it as evidence for any audit.
Tiffany and David have been without water since Friday at White River, and no power either although they have never had power there. They have a bush house, David is slowly improving it as they get the money and time to spare. Tiffany was at the river washing the clothes this morning, with their 2 girls and her mother. Along with what looked like all of the women from White River with their washing as well.
It’s a mixed evening here, I had Led Zeppelin on earlier, now it’s Flogging Molly mix of tracks from Swagger, Rebels of the Sacred Heart etc. Haven’t played Flogging Molly much here, so it’s good for the neighbours.
I’ve got 2 loaves of wholemeal bread in the oven, once that’s done and out, it’s cold shower time and sleep I hope. It was too hot last night for any real sleep, I was up and down most of the night drinking cold water from the tap, well, it was colder than the air. I’ve made up for it today with the freezer working again, I have ice cubes, coffee ice cubes and some more pawpaw and banana frozen for ice cream.
A few more days then a long weekend for me! I am starting to feel as though I need to get away from the Gardens, I’m usually working at weekends, and early mornings, time to get away and see a bit more of the country, well, other Islands anyway.
