Power cut again, no water, at least Christie filled buckets this morning.

We were making soap when Christi comes to tell us "Dan, David, the gas has run out!".

The boy who lives next door went in search of gas for us and returned saying there was no gas left in all of Fundong and they don´t know when they will receive more bottles. Samuel, the old guy form the shop next door to our office said he could get us an Áfrican Stove´ for 1500 francs (2€), all we needed was saw dust and two wine bottles. "It can´t be that difficult to cook like that"" we thought. Sawdust must catch fire really quickly (big mistake).

One hour later we were compacting our sawdust inside the stove (a 5 litre oil tin with a hole in the bottom). David - the optimist - all hands on board. Dan - the pessimist - (she would say ´realist´) getting ready to go and buy dinner from a street stall. But after a lot of trying, first degree burns and a great deal of uncertainty we managed it. We lit the stove, it went out, we managed to light it again and finally we were able to have dinner.

What bad luck today was the day our cook had a wedding to go to. Let's hope that gas arrives tommorow.
