Yesterday was my Christmas in July!
The Honey’s had taken a trip down to Gaborone, the capital about ten hours
south of here. They also happen to have a much better shopping selection, so
they kindly asked if I needed anything. Yes!! There is a refurbished bike shop
that they had gotten bikes from before, so I called the owner up and asked if
he could send a bike home with the Honeys for me. On Friday I got a call that
they were there picking it out and he seemed to have a good idea of one that
would work for me – I didn’t turn it down! It ended up costing about 200
dollars (1,630 pula). I would say that is worth it for a year of transportation
and exercise! 
Also brought back for me was a
small oven with three burner plates on top – will be perfect for my new cooking
endeavors! They also got me a water filter which will be a lovely alternative
to boiling all of my water. Yay! Thank you Santa Keith!
Wow thats wacky, i have never seen an oven like that... nice move on getting a bike, how long does it take you to get to work in the morning?
ReplyDeleteIt's about a 35 minute ride at a good pace - a really good workout with one or two pretty big hills either way. Great start and end to the day!
ReplyDeletePretty cool little 'stove' Looks like a beefed up toaster oven with burners. Glad you can cook/bake now. Hope your box comes soon. Wish I had remembered to send measuring cups, but I did not. :( sorry. Glad to see you are obtaining some comforts of a home you are used to. xoxo
