So today, as I was puttering around the kitchen with Richard, we found Vicky filling up our drinking water bottles with water straight from the bore hole. So really, I guess the whole reason why I haven't gotten too sick yet is because our good God is watching over me :) Good thing I'm a pretty easy going kind of girl...
The highlight, so far, of this very warm afternoon (it's currently 39C in my room/office), occured when I was filling the water filter with fresh water. I was happily splashing the water around when I heard a billy goat bleating. Now, a goat bleating is not an usual sound for this place, but hearing a very loud billy goat bleating just outside the window is. I looked up just long enough to see Matthew, the guy who works on the compound, running at full speed by the window... chasing after the billy goat! Seems there's a hole in the back of the fence, and the goat saw some nice greener grass on this side of the fence... after racing around the compound a few times, the goat got herded back out the hole from which he came. And Matthew, for all his chasing after the goat, hardly broke a sweat, while I was sweating just watching him run!
