It rained early this morning. But fortunately it stopped before school started which is about the time the masons come to work. School went off ok and the masons managed to do some work. But around lunch, just as we were putting tar-felt on the corrugated iron roof of the kitchen, it started pouring. We managed to put the felt just in time. So it plugged a few leaks. But the felt has not set properly because for that to happen the sheets need to be heated in the sun.
Where's the sun? We haven't seen it for ages! Not since the beginning of July. Everything is damp and mouldy -- the mattress, clothes. Awful. But the positive thing is that it's lush green all around. We replanted a few flowering bushes on the the hillock. We know they won't die.
Sanjoy left this morning. Earlier than expected. He's promised to come back and conduct a workshop for the children. Promises... let's see if he keeps them. Dona's wound is healing, though when we tried to apply the ointment on it, she screamed as if we were slaughtering her! I don't even with to look at Norman. He's still very "spirited" if I wish to be euphemistic.
