This weekend was my first in my house and as the other students go to Kigali each weekend, I was home alone. I survived but not without incident!
On Friday night there was the most intense thunder storm. I watched it from my bedroom window and saw amazing forks of lightening over the lake. The rain pounded down and on a corrugated metal roof it’s quite loud!! I only found one small leak in the ceiling and our water tank filled up which is great. During the storm the power came and went so I had 2 small candles as my source of light.
On Saturday there was no power at all. Our ‘cash power’ had run out so my two candles were put to good use again, especially as it gets dark at 6.30pm. Fortunately the stove is gas so I could cook and heat water!
