I took this photo in full afternoon sun, and it is a very hot patch of dry dusty green less hard packed soil, today about 38 degrees C. All three meals are cooked for the 700 or so College students in these three buildings. Cooks are working inside these hot near airless corrugated iron shacks all day, early to late. Inside are ovens and big pots heated by firewood. There is always a whiff of clean burning wood in the area. My quarters are down a pathway just to the right of the kitchen and so I greet the cooks and the students mingling about three times a day. Perfect place for short meet and greet moments.
Saturday. Not much happening around the campus. I was invited for morning tea with Mr. Juma and enjoyed a couple hours social time with him. How delightful! We laughed and swapped stories.
Lunch came and went, along with a short nap. I completed a draft for editing of my next Narrative and then I went in search of a classroom with internet. Someone kindly logged me on so that I could finish the rest of the surveys about the character strengths. Another nap, and supper.
Tomorrow I have been invited to meet a visitor from Canada. Don Menton, brother of my Manotick neighbor Jerome, who consults on fish farming in Kenya and expressed a great interest in MCF. I met Don once over breakfast in Manotick, Canada; tomorrow I will meet him in Thika, Kenya.
I connected him to Dr. Charles and Don's visit starts tomorrow. Tomorrow night, then, is a sleepover in my room in Ndalani, with the promise I will be delivered to my Mully College lecture in time for my 1000 lecture Monday morning. No entry then until Monday night. Stay well!
