Newsletter Two PS

Date: Monday 16 June 2003.

Some questions from a reader, and my answers:

Dear Ian,

Thanks for your latest newsletter. I really liked the photos especially the one of the fire exit as we have been talking about having a fire drill at Church.

Let me know if you want a larger version for display purposes.

I figured you must be really dedicated to put in such long hours in that heat - I think it's great!

I forgot to mention that I got up at 6am on the day I collected/delivered the cooks, meeting the other drivers at 7am. Yeah, that was a long day. The roads have SO many potholes.

Did you really put your head under in that green water?

No. I forgot my prescription goggles and couldn't see anything without my glasses, so I kept my glasses on and kept my head above water (this time). However, this is the view underwater, close to the surface. There's a person in that direction. At least we tried. It went black pretty quickly at greater depths and there was a thick layer of scunge on the bottom. (I'm not really surprised that diarrhea is so common here.)

How's your supply of balloons this time around?

I've got a reasonably good supply of various sorts of balloons but I haven't really started on them, other than using a few water balloons on the neighbourhood kids.
