Last evening I joined two sheets to make a room dividing curtain and mended one pair of trousers for one guard, and hemmed 8 cleaning cloths for one of our long term volunteers.
Today was pretty varied. Here is a short list of the things done:
sent resources (Stephen and tools) to open a stuck door for a staff person trapped in their bathroom
Manned/womaned the eMi gate for 45 minutes, while hand pruning some plants and pulling weeds from between the pavers
hunted on line for replacement for the safety valve for the new pressure cooker
boiled ceramic candles and installed them in the water filter tank for one of the interns
counseled with a newly arrived Muzungu who had trusted a guard, only to find he was robbing her and others
reminded the bank to deposit my international transfer (this is a monthly reminder to a different person each time as the computers can't do it)
made withdrawal at the bank and shopped at the new Uchumi supermarket near us
answered questions about route to nearest good butchery and what to do with mal-functioning fridge guard
Quite a varied day for me. I can only wonder what tomorrow will bring! Just one of the reasons why I love being retired.
