Feb 1st Up Ngoshe in 90 minutes. Gwoza elders and evangelists meeting.
2nd Preached at Gwoza communion. Lunch at Cubitts.
4th We bought a five gallon tin full of honey. One needed to filter it through muslin to remove any dead bees and other bits. Somehow the filtering honey was knocked over and there was an awful mess to clean. Another fun event was dealing with the mice. My mother sent some poison wrapped in newspapers sent by sea.However it worked by lowering the body temperature. It was so hot with us it merely made the mice groggy enough that you could catch them by hand.
