Labour Day

A quiet day here at home today. Thats more than I can say for the community though, it was party day again - celebrations for 1 May.

I told Andy and Claude they could go to the celebrations (I only found out about it last night). Andy ended up going but Claude said he doesn't go to celebrations (I think this can be translated as he doesn't go to celebrations when he's working)

Anyway, Andy came back and said that everyone in town had been represented in a march past in the Ruhengeri, sorry - Musanze stadium including all the hotels etc. He met Joseph (the ex-Ruhengeri council surveyor) who asked why we didn't join. Apparently Andy just replied that it would hardly make sense at this stage when there's only 3 of us at this stage - maybe next year.

Meanwhile I had settled down at home with the pile of slides that need sorting. All files, frames, viewres, markers and mini light table was out. A bit of a holiday for me when I don't spend the day in front of the pc (joke!) Found (or rather re-desicovered) some really good shots of France, Cornwall and the Mara. Time to get this all sorted so I can start selling them again.

Early evening was a movie that Andy had got - "Sweepers" with Dolph Lundgren and Ian Roberts (SA actor) about the guys lifting landmines in Angola. Pretty good.

As normal, the power is off now which seems to have become the time for me to do this blog before the power runs out.

The weather wasn't that cold today but we did have the obligatory quick shower at 5pm and now its all cleared up.

Ah, the new old-style mincer - we took that out of the box today and was going to use it but realised we would need to give it a good wash first - pretty well oiled at the moment being all new. We'll probably give it a spin tomorrow.
