Hi there,

Madelaine went back to the doctor today, and she’s doing much better and should be able to go back to school tomorrow.

Talking of school, here’s Lois’ class, taken today:

In this small group we have India, Germany, Nigeria, Mali, Switzerland, France, Benin and Holland represented!

Competition…

Due to the underwhelming response so far to the photo competition, here’s a second, larger photo. The Wycliffe T-shirt is still to be won!

Other news…

Lots of power and water cuts at the moment - not sure why.
It’s the school Summer Fayre this weekend, which will include the Samba Band performing. Lois is on the committee organizing it and so chose the traditional ‘olde English’ spelling of FAYRE. However, some folks keep wanting to correct the spelling, thinking it’s a mistake! How do you spell it at YOUR school (or your kids school)? We’d be interested to do a kind of straw poll on this, to see which spelling is most common!

The Land Rover is going well, but there’s no Diesel to be found in town at present. So we hope some comes in before the tank gets too low (although we do have 25 litres stored in the back shed for such occasions).

Here are a couple more photos, as I know you love looking at the pics!

This is Micah and Mads trying out Rob’s microphones before he used them for recording:

…and here’s Madelaine running on the same beach as you saw Micah on. Nice picture!

That’s all for now folks.
Summer Party 5th August chez nous by the way.
