(( return to makwawa ))

i have returned to makwawa
its all still there nothing has fallen down and the new shop that has been built looks fantastic.
i am currently staying in the double bedroom of the guest house but this of course wont be permanent as me and shy have located a perfect site to build a house but need to arrange some sort of funds for it. we have sat down and discussed a basic action plan for some of the projects that are required at makwawa.
yesterday i repaired the chainsaw as no one had actually told shay how to use it or how to repair it so i replaced the chain and rewound the starter motor. i am giving shay some basic chain saw maintenance lessons and as soon as i found the right tools will show him how to sharpen the chainsaw.
i am still getting used to walking down the road and children running after shouting the chichewan equvelant of the white man has come. shay has informed the chief of the village that i am here so that no one will be alarmed when a white man starts walking through the village.
i have decided to buy chrispin some tapes. he owns a tape player now so i thought i would treat him to some tapes. this is not the charitable act you may think though. chrispin likes to play his tape player full volume during every daylight hours this would be fine had chrispin not own only one tape and this certain tape be westlife. i didnt like westlife to start with now i despise them
more from sam another day
bye
