Water

Sometimes it really doesn't feel like Africa here at all, and that can be both refreshing (sometimes home comforts are well appreciated) and frustrating (I did move to Africa and want the experience). Well this week has definitely been an I am in Africa week; I have had no running water. I have never been without water for so long before, has been a challenge! Well, it has come back on twice, but then it has been all the more surprising when a few hours later it has gone again. My house girl filled every imaginable container with water on Tuesday which was quite a sight to come back to! I have been going round friend's houses for showers and learning new ways to conserve and re use water. Tomorrow is Water Day....apparently....heard it too many times before to get overly excited!
