A Photo A Day

There has been little business here of late.
Changing that will mean a bit of creative time management.
So, creatively I am going to put up a photo a day.
We will see how long that lasts!
Could be of anything.
Today is bought to you by silly faces and sweet girls.

LOST PHONE

Just so you know I have no phone at the moment.
So our birthday message to Harri did not happen, nor am I getting any of the messages!
Just so you know, I love you all and did remember Harri's birthday.
Oh and Cal, your dresses are being posted tomorrow and Australia Post assures me they will take 10 days to get there!

Read Across the Universe

The kids had book week last week. You may have noticed we have all been a little absent from here. That's because life is busy for all of us in very different ways.
Mine is busy making alien costumes for read across the universe.
So I just wanted to pop in and say hello and show you how busy I have been.

Sweet Sunday's

TRIXY JOY - our first sponsor letter

for the sisters.

How are you? If we are to be asked, we're fine. 

By the way I am Rhea, 28 years old, mother of Trixy Joy. 

As a mother, all I'm doing is to take care of my children.

 My husband is Gary, 30 years old. He is  farmer but sometimes he is doing construction. 

We have three children and she is the middle child. Trixy Joy is really doing well in her studies. She's very eager to learn. 

We are so much thankful for choosing Trixy Joy as one of the sponsored children you have in your program. Thank you so much. 

Trixy Joy asks, 'Where do you live?' and do you have any family? She asks your prayer for her studies. She also asks your prayer for her health. 

Thank you and God bless!

Rhea (mother of Trixy Joy)

I will post some pictures and more information for everyone soon...right now though I am just too excited about our first letter not to post it. I love the beautiful way this letter is written. I love that we as sisters are doing this together even though we are not. I love that we are taking part in changing the world 1 child at a time.

Yoghurt

There's two types of yoghurt in Gamba. Actually, there's one type of yoghurt and a 'dairy dessert' that doesn't require refrigeration until open. I'm not sure that counts as yoghurt. Anyways, I've been craving a big pot of yoghurt to dig into and as the other yoghurt (plain, made in Libreville) only comes in dinky little 125 gram pots I thought I'd have a bash at making my own. Without a thermometer. Or a yoghurt maker. And only long life milk. Here's how...



1. Pour 1 litre of milk into a saucepan and heat. Keep dipping your finger (preferably clean) in the milk until it's too hot to keep in there and little bubbles are just appearing.



2. Pour milk into a bowl to cool a little, until it's comfortable to keep your finger in. This only takes a few minutes.






3. Put 2 cups of milk into another bowl and add 2 tablespoons of yoghurt. Mix every now and then for 5 minutes.



4. Mix the yoghurty-milk back in with the warm milk then transfer to whatever containers you want the yoghurt to set in. Or a jug covered in a plastic bag if you live in the jungles of Africa and all your worldly goods including Tupperware containers are on a ship somewhere between Australia and Gabon.






5. Place a towel in the bottom of an esky. Put in the yoghurt and bottles filled with boiling water. Cover with another towel and a picnic blanket. Close lid and leave for between 12 and 24 hours, changing the hot water after about 8 hours.

Voila, fresh yoghurt! Sans sugar, Kt Mac get on it!

I'm not sure this is exactly orthodox yoghurt making but it works for us. Yoghurt, glorious yoghurt!
