Heat and moving issues

 

The heat has been unbearable these last few days and I have been feeling the effects of it lately especially in the morning when I wake up. I normally wake up between 06h30 and 07h00 now, last night it was incredibly hot and I struggled to fall asleep and the sound of "Mossies" under the mosquito net does not make for a good night sleep. The new system has been up and running for a few days now and I have been hard at work moving books on to the system, this is time consuming as not all the books have ISBN numbers, so I have to add them manually.

Last night a heard a funny story, the 1 lady, our neighbour, was going to move into an apartment because she did not like the house she was living in for various reasons.  Any way she moved in yesterday afternoon and promptly moved out again 3 hours later as there was no hot water and her big fear of  little cockroaches running around freely, cockroaches are a problem here. I have been working hard to get the "Librarians" to get to know the system and to take ownership off it.

I normally get here around 08h00 and leave after 18h00 in the evenings every day except for Sundays when I come in after lunchtime, so yes, my body is taking strain, we have now started to have a games evening every Friday just to socialize with the people around us instead of just having a working relationship with everybody, this is a good way to take our minds off the busy schedule we all have. On Monday I am going to Mwanza to sort out my work permit and hopefully this will not be an issue with the local authorities. My body is feeling tired, but I will push ahead to the finish line to the benefit of the local college and it's future students...
