Tropics and Earthquakes

The tropics are once again living up to their reputation with rain bucketing down 70% of the time but at least it has cooled things down to a moderate 30°. It has been a busy time this past week finishing the production of Mangseng literacy books etc but things have not slowed down any. Bookwork has caught up with me (not that I am getting to it as I should) but am slowly getting a handle on it.

Estelle has started to work in the finance office and will need to get up to speed before the end of the month when one of the staff heads home for an extended stay.

Just had our first earthquake for the year. Things in the fridge started rattling, then a big boom and the whole base shook. Had some "rolling" sensations afterwards. There is a volcano 30 Kms away that is steaming letting off a sulphur smell. It blew it's top in 2002, so I guess it could go again.

Trevor went exploring with our son Johnathan and two others for WW2 plane wrecks and found one under the jungle growth. Had to hike in the "big bush" as they call it, for a bit but they had a metal detector, and Craig had been there about 9 months ago.

Till next week,
Estelle and Trevor
