Feeling hot hot hot

the dry season is continuing, and the once green Rwanda is now a dusty red

our water supply is also being affected which means that it comes out brown and full of occasionally - not my idea of getting cleaner...we are of course privileged to have water on tap -
as I was reminded yesterday which I spent out and about visiting farmers again, and came home completely drained from being our in the sun most of the day, some have to walk 40 mins each way to get water still..

Highlights lately have been the opening of a new 24 hr Kenyan supermarket which is all shiny and bright and filled with stuff (mostly not needed stuff like glasses and toasters) but all the same a shock to the system. We are delighted to find they have drinkable Chilean wines for 10000 Rwf for 1.5 litres (£10 / 12 Euro)


We also visited the annual Expo last weekend, where an empty field gets turned into a promotional event - lots of East African tat, and promo for the gas company, the phone company etc (as if we have a choice - they're monopolies!)
