Saturday 4 April Easter Friday – or is it?

3 April 2009 I don't actually know if it is Easter Friday today as it appears to be here in Egyeigrem but not in Besease where it is promised next week – maybe the people of Besease are planning to be take advantage of out of date and reduced price hot cross buns by celebrating a week late. The other 4 of us here in Egyeigrem are today supervising a football match between this community and the next one plus when I left to walk to the main road at 7am there seemed to be hawkers milling around – these 2 things indicating a bank holiday, possibly Easter Friday.

After walking to the main road I got a TroTro to Kissi which is a biggish community – maybe 900 people - on route for Besease. It was hard enough to say hello or Good Morning to the hundred or so that I passed on my way to town and even harder on the way back to remember
to whom I had spoken. Exposed the foundations of the kindergarten that the drainage channel is being used and they are good, solid and not going to be washed away by rain from the small area of runoff that is to the rear. Nevertheless, a channel will be built. I had a wander around the community testing the GPS system – it will be fine for setting out a plan of the area but the elevation figure jumps in one spot from 20 to 40m above sea level so that's not going to work for
checking levels. Another way will be found.

Back for lunch as we are all going to the beach to camp overnight to celebrate Will's birthday. Should be good, and a bit cooler.
