Almost a perfect day.

It is lovely and warm, windy, but nice for walking, almost a perfect day. But for yet another email asking me what I am doing next year. They want a decision before I have had a chance to come back and see my family and get a better feel of whether it is appropriate to disappear again.  I have told them that this year it was relatively easy to come out as Nathan looked after my flat but if he wanted to leave the flat too, I would have to sort out an awful lot of stuff to enable someone else to live there. Also I may just not want to leave Nathan, and my family as I miss them, however, I know from Senegal that I will also miss the students terribly and I would really like to see how they progress.  I am also having real difficulty trying to decide how economically viable coming back would be.  I earned some money this year before coming out so that made it manageable this year but apart from what I can earn over summer would not be in a position to do this this year. Whilst here I have saved some money, but then when I take into consideration my up front costs for coming here, the resources bought for the school and costs back in the UK, the price of new glasses, the fact that I will need to buy a new computer and camera on my return as the ones I have have taken a real battering out here I am not sure whether or not I have had to use my savings to be here or not this year.     Not sure how to work through this being a bear with very little mathematical brain.

Anyway, I have been able to make a resource today, a small dressing up box for the children and I love the sight of the all the potatoes that have just been planted. They do not seem to be seed potatoes. I think that the women in the street must have been the planters judging by their aching backs.
