Wednesday was a beautiful sunny day here in
Charles hill! The weather was nice and cool this morning, but now it’s a bit hot
and dry with occasional breeze. Nice to go sightseeing.
Around 0830 am I walked over to see
where Tonic works and meet her colleagues before they go on a trip to Ghanzi
today. I plan to go do more sightseeing, as the streets are better paved than
down south. The trails are sandy but not dusty after the rain.
I walked to the clinic to see what was there but the
nurses were busy and I didn’t meet anybody I knew.
I walked back to the little shopping
plaza to buy some internet bundles at the post office. I wanted 2 gigabytes.
Unfortunately I Lost 80 pula of airtime during the process However, the
technician managed to assist me to get at least one gig, then he put me into
the tutorial so that next time I can do it online.
I bought some goat
meat and vegetables and walked home!
It’s cool in the shade and Tonic has a
nice covered porch, but I don’t dare sit there even though it’s cooler. Apparently in the pepper tree in front of the porch she told me that a giant snake lives in it!
I will be heading back Thursday. Mom
called this morning to say they ran out of river sand and Portland cement
building the septic tank and she was making arrangements for delivery.
I will have to catch 0500am bus to
Ghanzi to connect to GBE bus.
[Editorial note: Binnie hitch hiked instead and got a 10-hour ride with a South African transport truck returning to South Africa from delivering corn to Namibia and was cutting through Botswana. The lone driver talked non-stop to pass the time as he pulled his two empty trailers home.]
Friday will be my spent running
around shopping No peace for the wicked as the saying goes...
