February 23rd, 2020 – Lakatoro

Went to church this morning, due to a desire for human contact rather than any religious fervour. It was an unusual service today, led entirely by women from the congregation. It is quite funny that in any Christian church, in any language, the reading of church notices are the dullest five minutes you will have to listen to all week. I’m glad I went, as my counterpart Kevin was there, and although we were supposed to have a meeting in Lamap (a village which is a three hour drive away) on Monday morning, for which I was getting ready to be picked up at silly o’clock in the morning, he told me the meeting has been cancelled, and so he would buy me a fish instead – I didn’t understand the segue either, but hey, free fish!

Then after a long siesta in the stifling heat of the afternoon, once things started to cool down a bit, I decided to go for a walk to explore a bit further down the road and to stretch my legs.

Wishing you all a great week ahead.

Oh, and for those of you concerned, apparently H is finally on the mend, having polished off five pancakes at breakfast.
