One of our replacements arrived a couple of days ago, so the last two days have been driving him around and getting him acquainted with the area and the people.  We had a hundred new desks delivered to the school we built, so the students wouldn't have to sit on the floor.  I met today with the contractor who built the desks for us and he is going to make 6 teacher's desks and 6 blackboards for us.  The price seems to be right, and he showed me pictures of the desks and blackboards.  They look fine, so I ordered them on the spot.

 

Well, it looks as if our departure from here is going to be delayed.  I suppose everyone heard about the Air France plane crash in Toronto (which actually has nothing to do with our predicament, it just sets me up for my next joke, to follow)?  Well let's just say that that day was not a good day to be a plane.  Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt in the Toronot accident, and thankfully, no one was hurt in the two that have affected our flight patterns.  I guess that is about the only good thing about them.  Currently we are backed up by four days on departing theatre, but we are hopeful that the backlog will begin moving again soon.  Perhaps a big bowl of fibre might help!   If it doesn't move soon, then my flight will get delayed. 

 

Nothing is confirmed yet, so right now, I am still working with the original date, but I am not very hopeful that this will get resolved before that very much anticipated date.  There really is no one to blame for this, so there's nothing to get angry about, it's just a bit of a drag.

 

All for now.

 

Pro Patria.
