Monday again/A zase pondeli

So it happens that I am posting most of the time on Mondays, or it seems like it, and I only remember what happened during the weekend. Except this time I remember last week as well! Perhaps because I did not just sit at a computer writting day cre curriculum, I but I actually did stuff outside . . . yes I was weeding our orchard on Wednesday morning, then it luckily started raining, because I was told, "Oh gloves, noooo sorry." So my hands are actually broken down a bit and I have a blister from pulling those weeds. Luckily I was not alone in the situation and Brendan and I were just loving it all, especially all the prickly ones :) Those had to go onto a special pile, because they are actually poisoneous... and it hurts when they prick you. Then it started raining, one of our daily storms came a bit early so we absolutely could not continue and luckily Willemijn's boyfriend came to get her (they were leaving for Holland the next day) so he took us for lunch to our most favorite Maggie's farm and we had the luxury of taking a ride there, because we usually walk the three mile trip of road, hoping the crazy drivers will not run us over.
Then Willeminj left :( and today we forgot to put beet root on our shopping list, because she was the one who always wrote it down, she loves beet root!
Thursday Penny, my teacher from Boston came to see me. I was patiently expecting her sipping my morning tea (that was before we lost electricity on Friday PM). She spent the day with me and excused herself at 4pm, she had to go to a clinic, she though she may have malaria... but did not tell me the whole day about it and I must have made a hole in her brain by talking the whole time she was here.
Then I went to pull more weeds and did I pretty good job, although I broke the blister I had on my hand and made it worse. But it's better now, don't worry.
During the weekend we did not have electricity and so we begged people to take us out to movies/dinner since we ate salads all the time and it does get to you after a while. So we got a ride to the mall (twice) and saw Atonement and PS: I love you, both pretty good, except the whole thing with getting rides is getting out of hand... a) it's expensive, b) some people here think that God knows what we are doing out there, two days in a row, c) we got locked out on Saturday, we are not sure what happened, but probably communication mistake on each side of the fence. Then the driver on Saturday probably thought we ripped him off, since we bargained for R300 for the ride, he originally wanted R500, yes, we are white, but we are volunteers (student volunteer in my case) but that does not concern him. The fact that we wanted him to come and pick us up at 11pm, after the movie was finished was the last thing he needed to hear from us... and we were actually 15 minutes late, since the movie lasted a bit longer, so what, I though we are on African time...
And then we got our electricity back . . . or somewhere around there...

Ok, takze jsem ted vsechno rekla v AJ a opravdu me nebavi to prepisovat, ale to se mi minule stalo kdyz jsem to nejdriv napsala v CJ takze se nezlobte ze to rikam.
Je zase pondeli a ja se nachazim v pocitacove ucebne a pisu na blog. Nekteri z vas ho jeste nevideli, jak jsem se dozvedela, ale to je jedno, ja vam treba zaemailuju. Mozna.
Nejak si nepamatuju nic jineho nez ty nase weekendy, ovsem tento tyden jsem se polepsila a dokonce si pamatuju i stredu a ctvrtek a patek...jak by taky ne, ve stredu jsme byli v nasem budoucim sadu a pleli. Bylo to skvely, vsechny ty pichavky musely na zvlastni hromadu a tak jsem se s ostatnima modlila (ano uz se mi to i stava, ma to tady na me spatny vliv) aby se ten tmavej mrak priblizil co nejdriv a zacalo bourit, On :) nebo spis fyzikalni zakony tlaku a teploty me modleni vyslysely a kolem 11 zacalo opravdu prset. Skvely! Takze jsme se museli odebrat domu kde jsme netrpelive vyckavaly(Marion, ja, Caroline a Wilemina) az prijede pritel Wileminy, ktery ji mel ten den shodou okolnosti odvest domu... priletel si pro ni z Holandska, jelikoz dal vypoved v praci a jeho kamos co je pilotem u KLM mu zaridil letenku... jen tak pro zajimavost. Takze on i s tim pilotem pak prijeli a vzali nas vsechny na obed, do Maggie's Farm coz je takova mala restaurace u silnice, je tak krasny rybnicek a skvele tam vari, vypada to tam trochu jak ve Vermontu. No pak Wilemina odjela a my zapomnely pripsat repu na nas listek, takze nam ji dnes zapomneli koupit... teda nezapomneli, my zapomnely... vite co myslim.
Pak ve CT prijela Penny, moje souska ucitelka z Bostnu, ktera objizdela studenky v Africe, na Asii a J. Ameriku ji dekan uz prachy nedal, coz uplne chapu, taky bych to jeji cestovani moc nepodporovala, kdybych byla dekanem. No stravila se mnou cely den, ja ji asi vyklovala diru do hlavy protoze jsem nezavrela pusu od te chvile co dorazila v 9:30 rano. Kolem 16:00 se omluvila ze bude muset na kliniku ze si mysli ze ma malarii, priletela totiz ze Zambie a to je region, kde se malarie vyskytuje... takze pak odjela a jeste jsem od ni neslysela tak doufam ze malarii nemela, i kdyz ona to zjistila brzo takze by to snad s pomoci leku nedopadlo tak zle. Dnes mela jet za Dorothee do White River, na severu JAR, kam se chystame s Marion v patek, jelikoz ji jedeme navstivit, jelikoz je na praxi na klinice, ktera je hned u NP Kruger. Takze po velkem vybirani a premysleni zda tam letet nebo jet autobusem, jsme si najali auto a pojedem tedy na vylet a na slony, gepardy a lvy a taky za komary, jelikoz tam na severu je taky oblast, kde se vyskytuje malarie...
No a v patek navecer byla strasna bourka a uhodil nam blesk do transformatoru, ktery se shodou okolnosti nachazi hned za nasi kuchyni a my byli asi dva dny bez elektriky...viz ty salaty a taky voda...dzus nam dosel v patek vecer. Takze jsme prosili kdekoho, aby nas hodil do obchodaku, centra vseho deni tady v Johannesburgu (resp. v okolnich prilehlych oblastech) abychom mohly na capuccino (ano zacala jsem tu pit kafe viz nez normalne) a taky do kina, jelikoz co delat v katolickym tabore po setmeni, bez elektriky...babo rad, tak jsme prisli na kino.
No vyslo nam to ze jsme vyjely v PA i v SO, i kdyz v SO jsme museli platit vic za odvoz, protoze to byl normalni taxik a stejne nas asi nesnasi a asi uz nas nikdy nikam nevezme, jelikoz jsme ho nejen usmlouvaly, ale taky nas musel odvest vecer az po kine ktery koncilo ve 23:15, my mu rekly v jedenact, on tam byl dokonce na cas (v JAR neobvykle), ale my ne jelikoz kino koncilo v 23:15, no a co myslela jsem ze jsme ted na Africkym case, vsichni jsou porad vsude pozde a my se ani jednou nemuzeme opozdit? Ten film za to stal, ale on to moc nepochopil... na jak rikam toho jsme videly poprve a naposledy.
No a jinak nic moc, elektriku nam zase zpravili, a pak nam ji zase v nedeli vecer vypli aby cela zeme usetrila jelikoz nemaji dostatek zasob elektriky... ale to je jiny pribeh.
