Filing and food

Tuesday January 31^st

Ann attempted to complete the filing she had been doing this morning but no one turned up in the filing department to unlock the door so she made banana cake instead which was very good with a passion fruit icing. We thought we would show you photos of the mandazis and fruit that we often eat for lunch.

                                  Mandazi-"If the paper goes see-through its good to eat" 

The filing department was open after lunch so Ann spent a VERY hot 2 hours inserting notes into arch lever files, in which were piles of notes tied with string. The string was also tied to the metal rings and in some the rings were disconnected from the files! Evidence was there of people who had not bothered to take files completely off of shelves, but had rolled up and put notes inside the metal arch of the files!!

                                                              Deep in the abyss!

In the late afternoon we walked along the valley to the next trading centre, where we had a much needed soda (mountain dew) and saw some of the things for sale learning the names of these fish through a sea of flies!
