Time to Pack

With just 1 week in Chivhu we have started packing and clearing up the 12 months worth of stuff around the house.  Its starting to look very bare and cupboards are starting to look empty.  We are still getting our heads around the fact that its almost time to leave and that in 2 weeks we will be back in Australia.

Family ties

On Thursday Truth was taken to see her family with the Pastor and the social welfare staff 2 assis if it was a safe place for her to stay.  Sadly the family wont take her as they say she causes to many problems.  Thankfully she has a wonderful family at VANA who  love her and will care for her.

Good week

It's been a rally nice week with Peter coming over then our friend Christine arriving.  Christine has been having a wonderful time getting to know all our kids. There has not been much electricitgy this week, it's been of everyday so far.  We have been needing some rain and it finally came, it's just a shameits come the day we had planned a trip to the Great Zibabwe.  So its a rainy day at home with no powere instead.

Teachers Strike again

once again the teachers are on strike, only this time it's not just them, we are told ALL civil servants are going on strike as well.  We are not sure exactly what that 'all' includes.  We do know that as usual it is over their pay

For those who are wondering, touch down in Brisbane is on the 7th March at 4.30 pm.  Yes, only 4 weeks today!

It may not be much but.....

We were in Harare (again) a fe days ago, an this maight sound tivial in light of recent updates but OUR FAV CAFE IS CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS.  Such a shame (When your choices are limited and you find somewhere good, this is a real shame,  Susan)

Not much supprises us anymore. Friday one of our children was sent home along with the rest of his class because their pre=school teacher decided two go to town.
