Nice and quiet the children go to school, only the youngest ones still walk around.
I change rooms for 1 night, without air conditioning with 2 fans.
The nights are quite cool so that's okay I'm more afraid of a lot of mosquitoes because this room has a lot of big cracks, it does have a very large bathroom, just as big as the sleeping area.
Walked with Fatma to buy my breakfast, nearby otherwise I wouldn't have made it because of the arthritis attack. Too bad but unfortunately it's closed. Fatma said we had to go to the main street, that's too far to walk for me, I said that means bike or motorbike. She can't do both, I said that I would have liked to teach her but that I don't have the time for that, I gave her the advice anyway when she's home to learn it quietly on a bike, the motorbike will come later.
She asked for the keys to one of the motorbikes and. I drove slowly because Muslim women always sit with both legs to the side, like women sometimes do on the back of our bikes, only with a boyfriend or husband they sit with their legs spread apart with their legs on both sides.
I don't want to flatten the bike in the bend when they sit like that.
On the way there was a lot of mister, Fatma could laugh about it, people looked completely strange now because she was sitting on the back.
We passed a supermarket, where I first bought some sweets for the throat.
Later we also found a food stall.
I said that she could also order for herself, which she was very happy about. We also got some sweets.
In the morning they eat rice here with some salt, more as a filling so that they don't have an empty stomach feeling, why don't they eat healthier, because they are too poor for that, something I don't really expect.
But yes Harry and Mimin do what they can and you can hardly earn the money for so many families. Eaten food and not long after it started raining, and not so softly either, and it would continue like this almost the entire day if there was a dry period I got coffee or tea and occasionally went to talk to Fatma or Mimin's sister.
I quickly distributed the sweets, because I never had enough for all the children.
The children did enjoy the rain, they jumped a lot in the many puddles.
Also nice, the neighbors were burning leaf litter again, which went out very quickly because of the heavy rainfall. Maybe I should explain to them that the waste is good for the soil and micro organisms, I assume that this is also good for the tropical soil and also dries out less quickly, today the soil is not suffering from drying out, even the animals found it awful and came to shelter at the restaurant, the goat didn't like it either.
After eating I cycled back to the homestay, I was smart enough to at least take my headlight with me. But despite that I still had to look carefully, the entrance to the homestay is only a very narrow path, I drove twice too far in both directions, not far because I knew I was close but most things look different when it is dark, I recognized the football field immediately, so I knew I was close. Slowed down a bit so I wouldn't miss the narrow road with the signs, this time good. It won't happen to me tonight because now I know that there is a, I'll call it a bus stop next to it, where young people enjoy themselves in the evening.
At the homestay Fatma asked me where I had been, I said food at the main street, I held up the bag and asked if she wanted Pisang Goreng because it would be too much for me, she enthusiastically said yes and said she would get a plate and bowl, sat and chatted for an hour and ate the Pisang Goreng. And admired a large grasshopper, don't know if it attacked me, it looked suspiciously like it when I got a bit closer with my bottle to get it towards the garden.
Sat outside on the deck for a while and then went to bed to continue working, yes that only works for me for a short while, and then I fall asleep. It would be nice if there was a comfortable chair, in this case I can drag the outside chairs inside, but I rarely have chairs outside, let alone ones that are reasonably comfortable. With many of those plastic chairs the backrest is so soft that you can move forwards and backwards which is what I do and that will definitely go wrong at some point, knowing me.
"Eyes closed and beaks closed and sleep well" that owl would say. For my foreign friends, it was a television series for small children a long time ago.
Eyes closed and beaks closed, sleep well, in Dutch it sounds better in my opinion.
Thanks for watching.
