Hi there! Thanks for visiting. We’ve just about finished writing school reports now and have our school Christmas concert this Friday. Then we break up the following Friday, which is the day Clive arrives!

Phew! We’re also having quite a number of power cuts and yesterday’s one lasted eight hours!! Bit warm!

The HARMATTAN is really here in full force now – I measured the humidity as 52% this afternoon, which is almost unheard of (as Cotonou can regularly have up to 90% humidity). Still, it makes a pleasant change and, although it’s still pretty warm, it’s more bearable when it’s not so sticky.

MICAH has his 6th birthday party on Saturday and MADELAINE has her 9th birthday party next Thursday. In the Christmas play, RUTH is doing some narrating and is also being an angel!  MADELAINE’S cough and wheezy chest are much better – she’s on inhalers all the time now, which seem to be doing the trick.
Have you seen our photo gallery yet? There are some nice pics of the country there and a few other bits and pieces.

Bye for now,

Rob et al
