It is unlike anything i have seen for a long time. In UK we just brush it off the path or it turns to sludge. Over here by today it was hard work to remove it from the path - guess that is another lesson i just learned! The power has been erratic as usual as well - usually three hours on and three off - on Saturday night we had no power at all so had to put one of the generators on for a bit just to keep the food frozen on Sunday morning before church just as i was clearing the drive of ice! Some of the young guys helped me. Welcome to Kosova! All that aside things are going pretty well apart from still hanging onto a cold. Dave and Cindy have been great and we are getting to know the local staff that we will manage. Getting to know where everything is and how it works and what switch must be where and when! How to get to this place or that - driving in a strange way (so says Lorraine as well!) Coping with the lack of TV and just watching Dvds which of course we get to control! The weekend was good went to church on Saturday and Sunday!! On Sunday after we went out for lunch with a friend and his wife and then visited some families we know - they were bowled over to see us - what a welcome! So all in all a good two weeks - Someone out there must be praying! They are being heard - thankyou!!
