Rain & such

It has been very hot these last few days 31.5 degrees centigrade. We are just getting some much needed rain. The forecast was for 3.5mm, but looks like we will get more than that in places. We need 10mm + to carry on a flush that was initiated 2 weeks ago. This will mark the start of the season for us – always exciting and hectic as we gear up for a Tsunami of green leaf!

The last few days has also seen us hunting around for diesel. Malawi is being crippled by serious diesel shortages. If this isn’t resolved soon, we will be unable to bring the new flush in for processing. The implications of which don’t bear thinking about at the moment. As it is, the Satemwa ambulance is out of operation leaving the very sick stranded with only the humble facilities of the Satemwa clinics to rely on.

Mmm.. rain over now, doesn't look like we got our 10mm.
