rats = musty

Thankfully the musty smell of a dead or decomposing rat is now gone. While Dada and I were in Tanga Simon and Leah had an epic day where first they found the rat in the back of the oven disintegrating in the control box (which would answer the question of the shorting out every time the oven was turned on). Mom and Juliette were put to the task of cleaning this, which she says she was almost throwing up during the entire event. Just to make matters worse the water was coming out of the faucets a little dirtier then usual and when Juliette went and checked the tank there where worms on the surface and when then tank was then drained from the bottom black liquid came out and from what I here this was a thick black substance of silt that had built up on the bottom. My mom all a little creeped out by this felt sick for the rest of the day and the next day. All of this happened while dad and I were out.
We already start school next week. When taking out the major things we are doing like Pangani, Peponi, Safari in mid Febuary, a visit by Joel and Paula plus maybe another trip to Amani so Mom can see the chameleons. It will be nice to get back. I haven’t seen Sister G in a few weeks so that will be nice. Get back into playing marbles and all.
Yesterday and the day before we had a new king of power problem. This was surges and then very low and then up so high it looks like the fan will come off its wheel and then so low that when the fan was on high it was doing maybe 10-20 rotations a minute. This was happening all over Teule hospitali so Ben was rushing around trying to get someone on the job.
There is no water in Muheza for three monthe (we think). The constant rush of people getting water from our outside tap has steddly grew and the sound of buckets filling is now waking us up and keeping us from sleeping. Right now in Muheza almost every 2nd or so bike will be piled high with between 40-60 litres of water. Lately I have also been riding up water on the bac of my bike to Juliette’s house and Sefu’s Mother’s house. We (Kevy, Sefu and I) will usually bring 60 litres between the two houses which are very near each other to be split evenly. It is a very fun thing to do as you get to ride out in to the outskirts of Muheza to deliver this highly cherished substance. HAHA
We are going to Dar on Thursday with Alex and Emily. My parents have to do some mre Morphine meetings to try and get the medication to Bombo hospitali which is in Tanga. We will end up going with them to all these places if you were wondering!
That’s all for now. We are having a little bit of computer email problames but that should be resolved soon. Sorry if your email has been lost in all the transferrering. We should be back into a good system soon. See yah Later.
