3.30am!!

Sorry - that title is the time we have to get up tomorrow. It's just occurred to me that I ought to be in bed...but I just wanted to show you my hole! (Though it transpires after half an hour that this picture hasn't downloaded and I will have to try again tomorrow!) It ended up being about two and a half metres, and then we filled it with porous rocks and it will act as a soak-away pit for a sink and shower, I think. It's named after me...though I'm not sure there will ever be a plaque that says "Emma's soak-away pit" and no-one knows its there now its been covered over, but I do! Gosh, it seems like a long time ago that I was doing this! So much has happened since, and its high time I did some more manual labour! I ended up jogging round the house and doing star-jumps the day before yesterday, because I had spent so long sitting down in front of the computer designing the Tubakunde website, on an incredibly slow internet system!! We might go swimming in Kigali tomorrow which would be fun - we are going so early because Pete is leaving and his flight is at 6.40am. Still I can sleep in the car...unless I'm needed to drive! Ooh, I forgot to tell you - I drove the car yesterday because Pam and Nathan were both away. It is a massive four-wheel drive and quite unlike the corsa I learnt in (and as you know I only passed last May and haven't driven since, apart from at Christmas - and thank goodness for that week of driving Grandma's little car - it was an experience that enabled me to feel almost confident getting in this huge beast of a car and rattling off down the dirt roads!) We went for a little drive in the morning and Tracy also had a go, and in the afternoon I drove her to school. Actually apart from the pedestrians who walk anywhere they like and are very difficult to avoid hitting at times it wasn't nearly as difficult as I was expecting. Considering the size of the car, and the fact that we drive on the other side of the road here, and the gear stick therefore being in the other hand, it went jolly well. And no casualties - a bonus! Anyway, I must sleep...it's nearly time to get up!
