It never rains but it pours


Today we're expecting to go collect two more jack russel terriers and a tank of fish from the home of a departing family. The power is of course unreliable and I've got a list of power dependent but silly little tasks that I'm trying to get through. Apparently the about to be adopted fish are getting used to it. The last time I saw them was months ago and there's a few quite big exotic looking ones...the kids will love them. We had to have a tanker truck deliver water that we're now ratioing because we don't know when the city might turn their supply on again. I'm trying to put together my application so I can practice my new qualification as a polygraph examiner in this country. DH is putting in his resignation at his present job having officially accepted another yesterday. A year's rent is due on the house tomorrow. My to do lists are full and spilling over into project notebooks...meanwhile almost 6yr old and I take advantage of a spark of interest and seriously discuss the use of "to" vs. "too" in daily English writing. Life is beautiful. This is a shot of a nyala buck that followed his harem through the grounds of the cottage we hired over Easter near Pretoria, South Africa.
