I have now been here for over 3 weeks and it seems like a long time but has gone so quick . Thist week we have suffered due to lack of elecricity I think since Wednesday am . I was managing fine ,but my Phones and Ipod and lap top started ot to work. For some readon andrew had electric at hi house to on sat He took and changed my stuff. The tiolet has cockroaches around the seat thing at night so I have avioded that toilet ,but last night I had something nip me on the neck in bed and I am sure it was a cockroach I saw running away . How it got inside me bednet I don’t know 
I continue me time in the market of an evening , having a cup of tea and greating and speaking to as many peope as I can . My Luo is slowly improving and gets a lot of street credit . I am not sure If I should lean Swahili but this is the local lanuage. I am keeping note of my Money spending and I realy spend no more than about £1 a day on food ( I do do have a suppie of Rice and oil , tea and water) I have to get water from Siaya at the cost of 10 shillings for a 5 litra container ths is for washing and I then by Drinking water which cost more . I have spend a number of 100shillings charge cards for Phone and lap top . £1= about 135 Shillings
