* We've had a little rain lately, but not enough. There are many folks around us and down in town who have no water either into their houses or from the communal taps in their areas. So far our well seems to be holding up okay.
* The road work has ground to a halt again after just the big potholes were filled....
* Little Nelfika, the daughter of our guard is fully recovered from her badly infected ears.
* Yesterday we had a Canadian thanksgiving barbeque lunch with some of the other Canadian expats living here in Sentani. Tonight we had a really really yummy lasagna, so that was our thanksgiving meal. I even found canned spinach from France and put that in and man, it was tasty! We can buy food stuffs from the most interesting places out here. The other day I bought Canola oil from the United Arab Emirates! Who knew! I didn't even know they had enough land to grow canola! I also buy this lovely tea from Sri Lanka. The brand is Dilmah and it is very tasty! Earl grey even! There is also quite a bit that is imported from Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and Singapore. Indonesia imports quite a bit from Italy, but mostly things like motorcycle helmets and appliances etc and then of course, pasta. I also like to buy canned peaches from South Africa every now and then.
* Yesterday Marc had a bad headache again and just wanted to sleep so I treated him for malaria. The woman who is the most accurate slide reader is only in weekday afternoons from 2-4. Seeing as this was Sunday afternoon and I didn't want to wait that long, I started him on Euchinin, the children's version of quinine. He has bounced back quite quickly and wasn't quite as active today, but didn't have a bad headache either.
* Just want to wish you all a Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!
