So today I got real celery for the first time in 1.5 years! You could find some imported celery in the import store in Bandung, but it was a fortune and came on a boat from Korea or Japan or something. Here you can only buy celery that’s like a herb for soup. This stuff that I just bought was grown in a mountain village. Hopefully we’ll be able to get it more often.
Brynnie has had a mysterious rashy maybe fungal-type thing all over her body for a few days now. Poor kid, she looks rather diseased. This is different than the other spots that she had before-those looked just like chicken pox only weren’t. And just today a new doctor came into the clinic. He is an older gentleman from Finland who hopes to work here and in the villages to provide medical care. He said he thinks he knows what it is but didn’t want to give any medicine just wants to see her again next week. Okay…
Today the kids had International Day at school. Mikah’s class did Indonesia, Christiaan’s class did Mexico and Aidan’s class did Canada. I have to say that Aidan’s class, led by Jeanette Togeretz, did a fabulous presentation. Myself and another Canadian mom put together a little hockey shooting activity. Fun stuff!
Christiaan enjoyed turning 8. We didn’t actually eat cake today. He had so much candy and chocolate at school already… tomorrow is the party and then we will eat chocolate cupcakes. Yes, I still have some flour in my cupboards. I also managed to get some other repackaged flour and threw it in my freezer to kill any eggs that might be in it. Hopefully it tastes okay…
