Pictures related to the last blog that I have been too lazy to update until now...



Hi everybody,
I feel like its been a long time since I've updated the blog... but that is mostly because nothing of serious interest has occurred. Ilene has been really sick for the last five days (like stay in bed all day sick), and ayla so far (knock on wood) has masterfully avoided it. The last week while Ilene has been in bed rest, I (ayla) have been working on filling out the annual government school survey. Not the glamorous job. I had to interview every single child in the school and find out their birthday, what language they speak at home, if their parents are alive, etc.
In other news today, I think everyone will be happy to hear that our neighbor, the spitting black cobra, has been captured and re-located far far away from here.
The weekend of Valentine's day, the staff were hoping to throw a big bash that included a beauty contest, karate display, talent show, a bar-b-que, singing and tribal dancing, and then a regular dance with a dj. Unfortunately the donated money didnt come in on time, so it had to be postponed til the next weekend. But by the next week the money still hadnt arrived so it was postponed again. Then the same thing happened again. But finally, the money arrived today and we are throwing our valentine's day bash almost a month after the fact. oh well, a party is a party. altho the momentum really died the third weekend it didnt happen so i dont think anyone remembers what they were going to do for the talent show. but this is life as usual at botshaeblo.
im trying really hard to come up with something else interesting that has happened... but im falling short.
if i have a stroke of genius later i will add it to the blog
ayla
