An odd day once again

Woke up this morning to yet another fire in our generator shed. Not a good start to the day. But thankfully, the guard and Matt were on top of it, and again were able to put it out before any damage was done. But you can pray that they find the cause of these fires (this one was the same place as the last one), and that nothing will go up in flames before the guys get it all sorted out!

Then there was a big container moving on the compound! Our container city has one less container now.
I'm gonna miss the old container :( But it might be happier in his new home.

After that was done, I somehow got pulled in several different directions - not sure how or why, but I ended up doing an awful lot of admin work today, and then there were some computers to take care of... When really, I needed to be preparing for the workshop that starts tomorrow! I also had the bright idea of completely changing around the layout of the workshop room, which necessitated getting Richard to drill some holes in the wall so I could put the white board on a different wall. It just felt like the workshop room needed a bit of changing up - something fresh and exciting :) Hopefully a completely new set up will put some life into the workshop tomorrow morning!

I don't feel completely ready, though I did my best and did as much as I could to prepare! Anyway, I hope things will go ok. I'm really looking forward to the workshop - it's a primer development workshop. Which means by the end of next week, we'll hopefully have a good start on primers (beginning reading books) for 4 languages! That is, um, er, if all goes well :)

We've also been seeing some really cool bugs around here these days. We found a beautiful praying mantis on the office window screen yesterday, and then in the evening, Jackie saw a beetle which was the most amazing gold colour! It looked exactly like a bit of shiny gold wandering around on the table in our verandah! I've never seen anything like it, but of course, I didn't get a picture of it. I'm just wondering what kind of creatures we'll find tomorrow!
