Back to hospital

It was not comfortable morning because the son seemed to start again just crying with high body temperature. I advised my wife to consult the private hospital for it was Sunday whereby more doctors and nurses do not work being the government hospital.

At Chinyanje pvt hospital everything was good for they welcomed us assist my son. Wife and I left for the Dyeratu market before heading home to buy something for Jr to eat.   

Sleepless night

With good weather in Blantyre while taking down some notes I received a call from my wife. When I responded the call my wife seemed to complain. “At what time you think to be at home?” she asked. “Around 6pm I will be at home. Why are you asking this?” my wife said that she just wanted me to get home earlier.

We knocked off at 2:45pm. I just boarded the Chikwawa minibus. My wife was not around when I arrived home. I called her and she responded that she at Chikwawa hospital with son Jr who caught malaria but not assisted as was required. At around 9pm the son’s body temperature raised that influenced us to leave for hospital for assistance. We arrived at Chikwawa district hospital where were the son was assisted. He was just crying when we got back home.

Soap required

I left in the morning for the work. At lunch hour my wife called me. She just wanted to remind me that washing soap was totally required. “Do realise that tomorrow you might not go school because washing soap is needed to wash your clothes?” my wife cautioned me. I told her to borrow soap from the neighbouring shops and the money be covered when I got home from the work.

When I got home at 6pm I found her ironing all washed clothes.  I thanked her for the effort to making possible that my clothes to be washed because I might fail go to school. “I don’t think that I would be absent from school because you would borrow me you female clothes” I just joked with my wife and she was just laughing.

 

G4 security caught cane thieves

It was in the afternoon when I went to Nchalo to meet a friend who promised to meet at Nchalo when he would be on his way to Blantyre from Nsanje.

At the depot while waiting for him I saw G4 security men chasing two men. They were both caught. They were forced to carry their big bundles of canes they stole from Illovo cane fields. The two were just trembling because other guards brought police dogs when they were taken to Illovo offices.

Brother’s pig bore 12 piglets

My brother bought two female pigs. One of the pigs bore 12 piglets. My brother was failing to construct a good housing for the pigs. When the pig bore my brother started constructing the housing.

“You remember I did advise you to construct the pig housing in good time. You were waiting the pig to bear and you here and there” I was telling my brother. He worked very from morning until late in the afternoon.

Just stayed at home

I paid an excuse to stay home for I worked the whole day without resting. “Are you going to work?” my wife asked. I told her that I was supposed to pay an excuse for I was tired working in Blantyre.

When I was home my son Elod Jr forced me to play him music by Chameleon of Uganda on which dogs a dog and cat dance. My son is always carried away when he sees the artist on TV screen.

Failed to access internet

It was not encouraging day. I finished preparing Kasinthula Fairtrade sales invoices. I spent the whole day trying to send those prepared invoices but I failed.

I left for Blantyre at around lunch hour just to access internet using cafe. I worked up to 4:00pm. I was arriving home at around 8pm.

Caught man bulled by wife’s husband

The unfaithful woman excused to leave for home to visit parents at her home. The woman left at 9:00am and boarded minibus. Before leaving she stood with a man whom the husband had been suspecting that they were in secret love.

Late in the afternoon the husband followed the wife and hid at a certain shop just to find out if it was true that the man caught was in love with his wife. He was surprised to see his wife socializing with the suspected man at the woman’s village. He just followed the two until the booked a room at a certain rest house. It was a very shame when they were forced to get out of the room. Men started fighting and the woman escaped left the blood fight. The husband won the fight because other surrounding people assisted him bulling the immoral man.

Absent from school due to heavy rain

The heavy rain started at around 3:00am with thunders and flash of frightening. I woke up at around 6am. The rain was still falling and made people not move out from their homes. I put on my rain coat left for Dyeratu to board minibus for Blantyre to attend classes.

I managed to move from home but I failed to cross a river that was full of rain water. The flowing of the rain water made more not cross. I decided to go back home.

Fairtrade meeting

I was in my office reconciling Fairtrade Premium bank statements. I received a call from the Fairtrade Premium Committee that on the committee.

The Committee wanted to know the progress on answering some queries from FLO-CERT. I explained the stand I was with the issues. I advised the Premium Committee to discuss much about the 2010-2011 budget and workplan. “The 2010-2011 budget should be followed and all proposed projects to be implemented to be handled so professionally.
