We have now been in our new home for 2 weeks and are feeling settled with only a couple of things still to do around the place to make us completely Mozzie free.
I'm loving getting back to basics, we have no hot water so we need to boil up water in our big pots, put some in a bucket, add cold and then you can wash. There's nothing quite like a bucket bath, I love it! We also have to boil and filter all our drinking water so you need a regular routine to make sure you don't run out of water. The pots on the ground are what we use for boiling our drinking water and bathing water and the filter is on the right side.
DC bought PVC piping which he cut to use as posts on our beds to hang our Mosquito nets on. It works so well and it's nice not having ties going to the walls that you have to duck under.
The pond outside our place is used for fish farming and was recently harvested. They dragged a net and hauled in some huge fish. People came from the neighbouring houses and we were all able to purchase fresh fish at a very cheap price. It was delicious. They are bigger than they look in the photo although these are the dregs after the best fish had already been purchased. I was pleased to see small fish being thrown back.
Our older boys are enjoying playing Volleyball each day with the Hostel boys on our compound. The younger boys tend to play badminton. Unfortunately our two little guys are crook with fevers so they'll be resting up.
