Mwirirwe! That's good afternoon! We are in our own house now -
it is much nicer than we were expecting. We have a double room each, a living
room that is probably larger than any I shall ever own for the rest of
my life, and hot running water! Yesterday I had a hot shower for the
first time in a week...but funnily enough I still don't feel the urge to
do more washing than is absolutely necessary (possibly because of the
colour of the inside of our bath...I think it was white once...) I have
been washing in the kitchen sink, because the bathroom one leaks all
over the floor and the hot tap is taped closed, but I realised this
morning that our guard can see straight through the kitchen door...and
that I probably shouldn't be standing in front of the window waving my
flannel about! Our guard...now he's another interesting person!
Doesn't speak any English at all and listens to his radio really loud
quite a lot of the time. I suppose it must be a pretty boring job
sitting around in someone's yard...but we try to keep him entertained.
The first night we moved in there was a HUGE and incredibly vicious
looking spider in my wardrobe...and we decided that we weren't quite
brave enough to hit it with a shoe (Tracy did try once but it moved
SOOOO fast we got freaked out!) It was a strange flat looking spider
and I'm not kidding - you have never seen a spider move so fast, it was
like a shadow flying past. Anyway, so not knowing whether it was
dangerous or not we didn't want to risk just shutting the door on it and
leaving it...I, in particular was not fond of the idea of finding it in
one of my items of clothing that I had already put in the wardrobe in
the morning! So, I decided as a last resort that we would have to get
the guard to remove it...so I went outside in the rain, beckoned the
poor man into the house...gesticulating wildly about our problem, took
him into my bedroom and handed him a shoe whilst pointing at the beast.
Well, again, I exaggerate not, he chased it round the wardrobe with a
bit of paper and it covered the entire length of the wardrobe and up and
down the door in the space of a second, and he finally removed it, with
the most bemused expression on his face. I suspect it wasn't the spider
that was causing him the bemusement but the strange 'muzungus' in their
pyjamas and coats making strange demands on his evening! Well, after all that I spent the night in Tracy's bed...neither of us were brave enough to face the beasts of the night alone!! But I have made the transition into my own bed now, and we have even killed a spider of our own...ok, Tracy killed it, but I must report it took at least six bashes and five minutes later we still caught it resurrecting itself and limping towards the kitchen!!! They must have some kind of exo-skeleton or something that makes them unkillable!!
We have a lovely girl called Rachael who is helping us out with the
washing and cleaning and so on (obviously there are no such things as
washing machines) - she has just finished her exams so she can't be more
than 16 or 18 and she knows Kinyarwanda, French and a VERY small amount
of English...so I probably should have swatted up on my French before I
came out after all! We have had some very interesting conversations
with Tracy and I floundering around with the French and her just looking
shy...possibly because I think I'm asking her to buy us teabags and in
fact I'm saying 'there's a camel on the roof'! Unfortunately we ended
up with tealeaves as opposed to teabags, but I suppose I should be
grateful it wasn't a camel!! Oh and we have the sweetest group of
children living nearby - they all run up when we arrive home and give us
hugs! Can you imagine me coming home and greeting the children on
Byland Avenue with handshakes and hugs?!!
Sorry, I digress...I'm meant to be telling you what I've been up to!
Sadly, there are no babies at Tubakunde House yet, because they haven't
finished doing it up...but as you may imagine when it comes to digging
3meter deep 'soak-away' pits (where the waste from sinks and showers
runs into...and...er...soaks away!) I am in my element! The men taught
me how to use what they translated as a hoe, but what I would describe
as a large wooden pick-axe style tool with a spade shaped bit on the end
at right angles to the wooden handle, which when swung wildly above
one's head and brought down with just the right amount of force breaks
up the soil! It was great fun...although apparently I should have made
more use of gravity...and not quite so much arm vigour. Still, I have
plenty of time to practise...and I still have to go and finish off the
hole - its still only 1.7m deep and needs to be about 3m! The problem
is...once I get back in it, I'm not entirely sure how I'll get out
again! I should confess that I haven't dug the entire thing myself - I
had considerable help from the men! However, Nathan (the business
manager for the project - a very lovely man who has been so good setting
up our house for us and everything and is really looking after us - and
is only the same age as me!) says that he will name the soak-away pit
after me once I have filled it with porous rocks!!! Shame no-one will
ever know its there once it's filled in! I have also learnt an awful
lot about septic tanks. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to get in the septic tank and
help clean it out, but hey, I've got to be left with some ambitions!! (Oh, addition to this message - wrote it a few days ago - I have now been allowed into the septic tank!!!!! I had to poke a piece of wire down the pipe that leads to the soak-away pit to see how far it went...and er... I smell a bit now! Probably also because I put my foot in a bit of bog on the way to Sue's house where I'm writing this!)
Today I have been in school helping Tracy to do a PE lesson...and
generally being her classroom assistant just to relieve first-day
stress. It has been lovely though - the children are gorgeous! They
are so friendly...and they all want to touch you - I think it's such a
novelty to touch a white person...its like they don't quite believe you
are real!! Walking back from the playing field after their PE lesson I
must have had at least five of them hanging off my arms and around my
waist, they are all so cuddly! They call me "Teacher Emma" - and of
course it doesn't take long for them all to know who you are...it'll
take me a lot longer to work out who they all are!
Still hoping that we'll have internet access in our house soon, so then I will be able to write more often and it won't be quite such a jumbled mess of information, but for now I ought to sign off as I'm being rather anti-social in someone else's house!
