the adventure continues

remember there was not plane to get from Accra to Sunyani when I came, well there is no plane any day to return  (even though their website says it flies every day) so need to go to Kumasi (2 HOUR drive) to get a plane to Accra. another option is a bus from Sunyani to Accra and taxi from bus station to airport, since my mobility is an issue and riding a bus for 9-10 hour prior to  20 hour flight to Toronto is not too appealing .....  I will fly from Kumasi (flight 3/4 hour)
now just need to organize a ride to Kumasi in a car that will hold 3 big bags, I fly KLM from Accra to Toronto with a stop for 3 hours in Amsterdam and have ordered wheelchair assistance to manage 3 bags, drum and carry on and me with a boot on my #ankle and a crutch under my arm, it almost seems like a sit com that had a terrible writer so, the saga continues
for Daniel"s wedding Sat,.  Gifty and I are getting a bus on Friday am, she thinks 7am (early mornings are sooooooooooooooooooo delightful lol),since seats are assigned, the earlier you get there, the closer you are to the front of the bus, both Gifty and I can not truck to the back of the bus easily,  stay in hotel where the wedding is Frid and Sat nite and home on Sunday, I have a new outfit, very sparkly, u will see it Saturday,

CATHEDRAL HAS NEW WINDOWS

for the past few weeks workers have been installing new window in the cathedral, before the window space was blocks with openings for the breeze
                                         

so the blocks have been removed and windows installed 


So much brighter

and the surprise today was the addition of 2 stain glass window behind the altar
- notice the coloured lights that are lite while the Eucharist is being celebrated

no electricity

electricity out for 16 hours, a pain as there is no fan but the good news is that I just need to wipe out the water in the freezer rather than defrost the fridge    and     when it returns I run around plugging in all electronics to recharge them ready for the next outage because it will come,     ..........
this is Ghana   lol

spaghetti for dinner

Gifty and Yaw coming for spaghetti dinner, garlic bread, heat the sauce that I made the other day in microwave, boil water in the slow cooker and cook the spaghetti is what I have planned, Gifty has a client so is late but I was going to cook the spaghetti after she arrives, heavy rain, lightening, thunder the, whole ten yards...they arrive and electricity goes off , oopsy spaghetti not cooked, Have a solar table lamp in the centre of the table, so serve sauce over 2 slices of brown bread, Yaw has never eaten spaghetti so move the light closer to Gifty so she can show him how to eat dinner, he managed very well and came back for seconds, yogurt and chocolate filled cookies for dessert and mango juice to drink,, not a bad supper considering the adaption, electricity still off , thank goodness for batteries,
